[RTTY] Well darn...

[John Barber]

Assuming you have CAT to the radio,
Go to the digital interface window. Click on Setup, then select 'Turn Auto
TRX update on'. You will see the frequency at the top of the DI window
change.
That's it ... but it took me ages to find it the first time.

How do I adjust the 2.1 offset frequency in N1MM+? 
I can't seem to find the path to do that.
Tnx
