K3 /w Transverter - bug or feature ?

DH2SE
Hello,

I'm using a MMT 144/28 Transverter with my K3 (#1115), latest FW beta rev. 2.80. Choosing FM with 5 KHz in transverter mode (XV 1) step will cause a silly effect when I'll reach the end of 2m band (EU) at 145.995 /146.000 MHz. When tuning back down the step now is not 145.995 145.990 etc it is 145.997 145.992 etc. Still 5 KHz but shifted to the "even" frequency. So I've to switch to fine tuning mode to set the step right to 145.xx5 . That boulders me a little bit.

Hw ?

My K3 behaves like this too. It's not a big issue and I can live with it,
but it would be nice to see a fix in due course.
