If your Net Control station has an accurate enough ear to tell you are 12Hz off frequency on an SSB net, I would ask him to align it for you.
On 80M, you may be only off frequency by a few hz. 12Hz at 50Mhz is really nothing. If it concerns you, you will need to align it with the correct alignment tools and a trip to a repair facility with a calibrated frequency standard is in order. If it was me, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can remind your Net controller that that is what the RIT control, is for on his radio. If I remember correctly, the K3 accuracy is 5ppm and at 50Mhz that is +/- 250hz at 50Mhz. It is only 15Hz at 80M. If my assumption is correct or PPM, your radio is within Spec. I'm sure others will correct me if I am wrong.
