Whoa.  Isn't there an offset between SSB and CW normally? 1.5kc sounds about 
right.  This does not seem like a bug to me.

And why would you want to transmit in different modes when working split 
anyway?

Isn't this twisting things just a bit, or am I missing something?  I know 
that when I go split, I am ALWAYS in the same mode.

I admit that I'm easily confused, but this doesn't seem like a problem.
