The ICOM 756 Pro 2 centers on 1500 Hz. If anyone knows if you can change the center, I would like to know how to do it. My preference would be 1000 Hz since it makes it easier to increment one kHz from the dial frequency.
As mentioned to Jose, the correct frequency you were operating on was 14.111, not 14110. SSB nets are not running digital modes and their frequency is the dial frequency, whether USB or LSB. CW nets are based on the zero beat frequency, but different rigs have different CW offsets. Many rigs have the ability for the operator to change the CW pitch to center the received audio frequency in the filters as well as meet operator preference. The other operator has no idea that you are doing this as long as you are zero beat on the frequency.
