Alan,

Did you check the Frequency Calibration section of the K144XV option manual?
Look on page 19.
You can adjust the offset with the K3 menu XV1 OFS.  The offsets for 
each band segment should be indicated on the XV144 top cover.  If you 
have accurate frequency beacons available, you can refine those offsets 
as needed.
