If the DDS setting was independent of the readout in the radio it wouldn't take into account differences between the crystals where some bands are offset from even MHz to cut down on receive birdies. That means accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the offset programming and the display counter clock yet.

Greg,

The DDS modification still uses the Corsair's "native" frequency readout
circuitry, so setting accuracy is no better or worse than with the PTO.
