RIT and XIT

Detrick Merz
So, with XIT on, as I twiddle the RIT/XIT knob, the displayed
frequency does not get updated?  So after altering using XIT, I have
to switch back momentarily to the RIT display to see my xmit
frequency?  Can someone confirm I'm reading this right... here, all
along, I thought I had broken something since the display didn't
update when I twiddled XIT!

Derick,

The frequency display during receive will not change when XIT is
selected because it affects only the frequency during transmit.

It is as simple as that - if you wish to observe the transmit frequency
during receive, you will have to activate RIT (which is what you are doing).

I find SPLIT to be more intuitive than using XIT for exactly the reasons
you mention, but YMMV - I use neither RIT or XIT, but prefer SPLIT instead.
