Lewis:

Here's what I do for my 706...

When setting up the calibration I subtract the appropriate number to get the
display to show "negative numbers".

A simple (but real) example:

When I want to RX on 185.3 I set the radio to WWVB, CW, and Argo to 30
second dots. Then I go to "full band view" click on the trace for WWVB. The
30 sec/dot trace now gives me a frequency to calibrate against. Just now the
frequency was 645.00 Hz.

Normally, I could go into "Calibrate" and enter -45. This would show the
carrier at 600 Hz but still inverted. So what I enter is 945.00. this is the
645 of the carrier PLUS an offset that would put the display at -300.00. Now
the number *IS* negative. But the scale is "upright". Lower freq carriers
show up lower on the scale. A carrier on 185.299 will show up on -299, etc.

Sounds complicated until you actually step through it.
