Oh yes as I was in a QSO with one station.  It was his opinion that the 
"frequencies" to be used are always those that end with  x.xxx.000.   The 
fellow couldn't understand why I was operating on 7.263.255.  My reason for 
operating there, I have a "birdie"  that is heard 24/7, thus I find quite 
annoying if I operate on 7.263.000.   FYI - that birdie is external to the 
radio and I've found it originates from a near-by communications site.
 Of course I could activate the Auto Notch feature but the birdie, although 
the signal is not very strong, it does have effect on the receiver AGC. 
As I said earlier, we need to hone out skills in tuning by using our ears 
and not the digital display on the radios.
