Oh crap!

I just had an ah hah moment.

With the SB-104, I need to offset the VFO slightly when going from CW to LSB. I 
think CW and USB have the same offset.
That radio does not use RIT.

I guess it would be possible to use a small trimmer and dial in the necessary 
offset in the form of a voltage and apply that to RIT function.

A simple transistor switch will put the offset circuit in and out as needed.

Only problem is, I don’t have a  clue on how to modify the sketch to do that.
