Exactly.  Everybody has their own preference for the audio pitch.  Some like 
it higher and some lower.  Before the days of accurate frequency read-outs 
nobody was too concerned about it.  When I am net control I transmit on 
VFO-B and use VFO-A to freely move about on the RX frequency.  I find that 
easier than using the RIT.  And Net-Control is ALWAYS on frequency hi..hi..

Really? I mean really?

Heck, I’ve been told countless times I’m off frequency. My hearing is shot 
so i tend to tune SSB in a bit higher pitch than normal.

“Ah… WB8VGE, you’re 27 hertz too low.

Really?

Yes!

(Me) Does that rig of yours have a RIT?

(Him) I’ll have you know this is the newest generation transceiver on the 
market. It has sixteen VFOs, and eight RITs.

(Me) Then how about turning one on?
