[Elecraft] What does the frequency readout mean?

[n5ib at juno.com]

One of the "features" of using LSB convention for receiving CW is that
when you tune the dial to a  lower  frequency the pitch of the received
audio gets  lower.

In fact, that was the old timer's test back in the day of
non-single-signal receivers... if you tuned to a lower frequency and the
pitch got lower, you were on the lower sideband side of the carrier.
