K3 in ARRL DX N1MM experience

Julius Fazekas n2wn
I've had an interesting experience in the contest using N1MM. When changing bands, I use N1MM because it's so darn easy. I would type in a Frequency say 3550 from some other band. N1MM would take me to 3552.13... That got me scratching my head. I tried this a few times, with the same result on various bands. In band, no problem, the radio went right where I told it to go.

So the question was why? It appears, at some point, I changed bands with the RIT offset by 2.13 khz. This was unintentional on my part (can see where it would be helpful if I had been on the other end of the QSO). I was able to get it back, but was wondering how to turn this feature off.

160 was no picnic this weekend, much QRN. Friday night was better than Saturday, still had fun working ummm "QRP" with 100 watts ;o) Even TI5N was running LP!

73,
