I find that Shift+F11 or +F12 do indeed move my TX frequency but the RX 
frequency also moves a little as well.

Hi all,

We have never considered anything like an "auto shift" of Tx frequency.

What we *might* do is provide an easy way to move your Tx frequency up or down 
manually in increments of 60 Hz (or perhaps some other number) to choose an 
apparently free frequency.

WSJT-X v1.8.0-rc1 already has a trial version of such a facility, but its 
present logic may not be exactly what we'll want to make permanent.

As it is now, Shift+F11 and Shift+F12 move your Tx frequency up or down to the 
nearest integer multiple of 50 Hz.  Maybe this should be 60 Hz, instead, since 
(after the recent change in the FT8 symbol length) the bandwidth of an FT8 
signal is 50 Hz.

If everyone used the new FreqCal tool, we might even find that it makes sense 
to use quasi-channelized operation so that Tx frequency is always an integral 
multiple of 60 Hz.
