K3 coarse tuning in a transverter band

[G3TCT]

I've just upgraded from firmware 3.27 to 3.63.

I used the VFO CRS menu entry to select RND= YES so that the RIT knob moves
the VFO correctly eg 1kHz steps and rounded. It works fine on the standard
bands.  However on switching to a transverter band, the frequency is rounded
to 20Hz away due to the transverter offset that I have set up. This is not
the desired behaviour, and has changed since f/w 3.27.  The effect is the
same when using the main tuning knob in coarse tune.

Anyone know how to cure this?

Graham

Sounds like a bug. The obvious fix is to fix your transverter so it has an offset that is a multiple of 1kHz. If it is an XV144, hard luck for a while until it gets sorted out.
