Very true... although you *can* move the FSK frequency by sending the  
intended transmit frequency as an XIT using CAT.  Or use the "A VFO"  
for receive and "B VFO" for transmit and you send the offset that you  
have clicked on the waterfall to VFO B as a CAT command.  I.e., agile  
transmit is possible even if you pair an FSK transmitter with a  
panoramic receiver whose waterfall you click on.

You can apply this method not just to an FSK transmitter but also to  
an AFSK transmitter with a fixed tone pair -- that way, you won't have  
to worry about a transmitter whose audio passband is not flat.
