Joe,

Yes, I have read it. I also read Bob's (KA1GT) article. Please have a look
at this short recorded screen session:

https://icecreamapps.com/v/fkkg3dt

Either right-clicking into the wide graph and setting the offset - which
should not work since it should be fixed to 1500- or by previously being in
Q65 with an offset will cause this.

It follows the pattern of @0-500 offset will subtract 1500Hz, @501-1000
will subtract 1000Hz, @1001-1500 will subtract 500Hz and so on until +1500Hz

I think this feature is used to keep the tones in the middle of the TX
passband, but it also requires a frequency shift of the generated tone
which does not happen because it's set to a fixed 1500Hz.

In short, yes, there should not be a frequency shift on TX in the
first place and that is a bug IMHO.

I enabled logging for the rig transactions and the radio is indeed
commanded to go to the wrong offset on VFO B it should be 144065000.

          rig_set_split_freq called vfo=VFOB, curr_vfo=VFOA,
tx_freq=144064000

It works fine when I right click on 1500Hz in the wide graphs or when 1500
was selected in the previous mode.
