Since the P3 does not operate in transmit, XIT is a moot point but
both the cursor and "current frequency" show the effect of RIT.

Because the displayed frequency is the VFO Frequency +/- RIT and
RIT is reported in the IF "broadcast" or in response to RO. It
would be difficult for many computer applications if the "VFO"
frequencies were jumping around between transmit and receive.
