K3 Incorrect Frequency Change

Elecraft mailing list
My K3 recently developed a bit of a glitch. While using HRD Logbooks DX Cluster, when clicking on a station,  the K3 will change frequency to that station, however it will always be 0.75 off. For example if the posted frequency is 7.017.00 the VFO A will show 7.016.25.  A second double click on the same station post and the correct frequency will come up. In addition, if I have VFO A&B locked together, VFO will show the incorrect frequency but VFO B will be correct. Also, if I leave a particular frequency and return to later, via a click on the cluster, the return frequency will be correct. I attribute this to the K3 memory.I have reloaded the K3 software as well as HRD. I checked all RIT/XIT  and I have no offsets set as far as I can tell. Any thought would be appreciated.

RE; K3 Incorrect Frequency Change - FIXED

Elecraft mailing list
As follow up to my earlier post, my issue of the VFO A frequency not tracking properly was due to my CONFIG: CW WGHT setting being wrong. I somehow set the VFO offset from 'VFO NOR' to 'VFO OFS' which results in the frequency offset equal to the CW tone/pitch selected.
A big thank you to Mike K6MKF for his help and pointing me in the right direction.
