Change the AFSK tone so mark is 2KHz and 2170 for space then easy to do the
subtract (LSB) to get true radiated mark frequency. Also all the logging
programs I use have built into them the ability to display the actual on air
frequency.

Yep, I know about that remote pin. I set menu 40 to ON but that only
changed the display equal to the CW offset set in Menu 34. Max that it can
be set to is 1000.
FSK is the way to go.
