In the VHF Contest this past weekend, I frequently noticed a
frequency offset between the P3 cursor, and where signals
actually appeared in the headphones.
I tried to reproduce the condition this morning, and think I
succeeded. The following describes what was happening.
I was flipping between SSB and CW, using quick-memory buttons M1
and M2. M1 and M2 were memorized with RIT OFF.
If the RIT is manually turned on, and an RIT offset is dialed in,
and then you hit M1 or M2, the P3 cursor becomes offset by the
amount of the RIT offset, even though RIT has now been turned OFF
by hitting M1 or M2. The only solution that I could find during
the contest was to cycle power on the P3. That was pretty
aggravating.
Experimenting further this morning, I see that if M1 and M2 are
programmed with RIT ON, any RIT offset carries over when modes
are switched, and there is no frequency error when the RIT is
zeroed. I'll do it that way from now on, but it was driving me
batty during the contest.
