K3 with microwave transverter - Frequency display

[AD6XY]

The K3 displays the frequency for bands above 1 GHz by missing the most significant digit. I would rather it missed the least significant one. Then 1296 would read 1296 rather than 296. This is I feel justified on the grounds that, for non-GPS locked systems, by the time one is over 1GHz the last 100Hz or so of resolution it is a bit less certain.

Secondly, I seem to be having trouble with direct frequency entry on 2320. The IF is 144MHz via an XV144 but if I try to enter 2320.200 I can't. I can enter 144.300 on 2m so I think this is a problem only over 1 GHz.

   I too would like to see this readout change. I am in agreement with the "less certain digit". I use transverters with my K3 on 6,2,222,902,1296 and 10Ghz at this time.
