Not that I know of. In digital and SSB modes, the dial frequency is the 
suppressed carrier. In CW mode, it's the actual signal frequency. The K3 
takes the desired CW note frequency into account. In RTTY modes, it's 
the Mark Frequency.

When you switch to CW to hear a CW signal that you heard in Digital 
mode, you'll have to tune it in. The K3 has a front panel button that 
allows the op to use plus or minus CW offset.
