[Elecraft] 6m off-frequency

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

You say RIT is not engaged, but what about XIT?   Either of these being 
ON can cause an issue in this regard.    Additionally, the way one 
person tunes to a SSB station may cause some frequency disparity between 
two stations.   Excercise: with eyes closed, tune to a station and then 
look at the display.

Also, the advent of digital readouts can cause this type of discussion 
to arise.  Seems that everyone thinks the digital display is absolutely 
accurate.  In most cases it is not a frequency measuring system but 
rather a frequency display based on certain accepted oscillator 
frequencies {which may or may not be absolute}  and math calculations if 
the firmware.   It seems that we've migrated to setting the radio with 
the display to be on a specific indicated value.
