REPLY:

Yes, I'm sure that's what they meant, but if so 97.303(h) is incorrectly
worded. If you follow the instructions literally, part of your transmission
will be out of the channel. 

To me "carrier frequency" means exactly that - the frequency of your
transmitted RF carrier, not the VFO offset displayed on your transceiver. 

The FCC's wording needs clarification.
