Chris,
There is one thing that might produce the condition you state, and that
is if you have 40 meters set for USB. Tap the band button and see if
there is a "u" in the left of the display when the "7" digit is displayed.
The KX1 firmware controls both the transmit and receive frequencies.
The receive frequency is offset by whatever you set into the sidetone
pitch, and the frequency indicated on the dial should be the transmit
frequency.
So, if the transmit frequency is indeed off, it must be due to the firmware.
That has nothing to do with the BFO and DDS settings on the KX1.
Are you certain the receiver you are using to listen to the KX1 is in CW
mode? If it is in SSB mode, its dial indication may be shifted by the
amount that receiver has set in its sidetone pitch parameter. I know
Yaesu changes the displayed frequency when going from SSB to CW, and
they shift the transmit frequency when in CW mode. Elecraft does it
differently and always displays the transmit frequency, but shifts the
frequency for receive.

I guess using the word "Dial" may be misleading. I am simply trying to say
that on 40m the frequency that is being transmitted on is 685 hz higher than what is on
the display. This is only on 40m. The other 3 bands are pretty accurate. The BFO and
DDS menu options are set to 0.
