Thanks to all who replied. Several folks have suggested that I may have 
been listening on the wrong Side Band.

I did the following last night:

Tuned the 756PRO to 50.125.0 USB

Turned down the RF power AND connected it to my Heath Cantenna

Tuned the R7000 to 50.125.0 USB

Turned the Voice Keyer for the Pro on and listened on the R7000

I could hear my signal OFF FREQUENCY. Tuning the R7000 to 50.123.5, my 
signal was perfect

Just for grins, I checked the USB/LSB switch on the rear of the R7000. 
It indeed WAS on USB. Engaging LSB made my signal sound horrible and 
tuning the receiver did NOT produce a clear signal.

So, the display is indeed 1.5 KHz low....

Are you sure it is not reading the center channel frequency and not the 
carrier frequency. Just a thought... if that were the case it would be 
easy to check... it would be 1.5KHZ high on LSB
