[Elecraft] P3 Question

[Wes Stewart]

When working DX stations that are operating split I much prefer to use the transmit offset (XIT) function rather than using the "Split/A/B" method.  This puts all of the needed controls together.

Using my current panadapter setup, an SDR-IQ + SpectraVue, if I want to see where my transmitter is with respect to QRM, I just tap the RIT button to engage both RIT and XIT and the center of the display now shows my TX freq with respect to other signals.  Unfortunately, the K3 doesn't report the actual displayed frequency via the "FA" command, which I assume is what SpectraVue uses, so the spectrum display frequency axis still shows the non-shifted frequency.  

The foregoing probably answers my own question which is this: will the P3 markers/cursors that show the A and B VFO frequencies account for the case of both RIT and XIT being engaged at the same time?

A related question is why doesn't the K3 just report the actual displayed frequency when queried?
