Bob, You did not specify the mode, but I can answer for any mode.
For SSB, take the FCC specified center frequencies, and subtract 1.5 kHz for the USB carrier frequency. For CW and narrowband data modes, the Elecraft display will be at the specified center frequencies.
For SSB, the K2, K3 and KX3 display the suppressed carrier frequency, and the regulations require that the USB signal be centered on the channel - subtracting 1.5 kHz will provide that centering. For CW and soundcard data modes, Elecraft gear displays the transmit carrier frequency, and that should be the channel center.
Other transceivers may handle the frequency display differently, and I can only speak for how Elecraft handles it.

To our K3 60-Meter Operators… Can someone please give me a list of dial display frequencies used with a K3 for USB and CW on 60 Meters, all five Channels? I’ve seen much of the boilerplate information around talking about carrier vs dial frequency but some of it is conflicting. So, I was hoping an active K3 60-Meter operator using both USB and CW can tell me what his/her K3 dial displays for frequency when one is dead on the right frequency for each Channel and Mode (USB & CW).
