[Elecraft] CW on SSB

I give up...didn't find any "Autoshift" in the menus of either the K3 
or KX3.  Is this about some other radio?  Or is a feature of some 
early vs of firmware long gone?  I'll admit not updating the K3 
lately (vs 4.81).

In doing frequency drift measurements I noted that Frequency seen in 
USB mode is different than what is seen in CW mode.  The shift 
appears to be that of the sidetone frequency which I have set to 
550-Hz for performing the temperature compensation procedure on the KX3.

To hear the test signal in USB I have to retune the VFO if I switch 
from CW.  I have a good ear for tone frequency so am able to tune in 
the test signal in USB to match the CW sidetone frequency.  That 
requires moving the dial about 550 Hz.  If on the wrong sideband you 
will *not* hear it.

And enable auto-shift in the menu when switching from CW to SSB and vice
versa, otherwise you will still have to retune to get signal into the
passband again.
