Gayle, On this radio the SHIFT is IF Shift...not frequency RIT or XIT.......The CLAR (clarifier button pushed in) enables frequency shifting for receive.....just make sure that this CLAR button is OFF, so that no shift in frequency is applied to the VFO freq. This can be seen on the display.
NOTE: FYI -- IF SHIFT is a way to move the receive IF bandpass in order to eliminate interference -- QRM mostly. This is all in the manual Page 25 under Clarifier (Receiver Offset Tuning) and on page 49 fold out --Clarifer block. One way to confirm claibration is to go to WWV at 5,10,15 or 20 MHZ. Example -- 15.000000MHz. Using SSB (upper or lower -- machs nichts) you will hear a solid carrier constant tone (low frequency audio) underneath the beeps or the announcements. . Tune down or up to eliminate the carrier tone (close to zero hertz audio) and see if your display is at 15.00000....or 10.0000...or 20.0000 wherever freq you use. Pretty straight forward.
