We ain't channelized (except on 60 meters). So dial it until it sounds
good and ignore the readout so long as you aren't playing footsie with a
band edge.

Its probably either the reference oscillator for the synthesized VFO,
the band crystals or the BFO shifts. Or some of all of those. Setting
all these should be in some alignment instructions but I don't have
them.
