Pretty funny, Mike,
That's the curse of the digital display. Everyone operates on a
frequency that ends in 0.0000. Nets are locked on frequency when we
used to list the net frequency as "plus or minus for QRM". Back in the
day I was happy when I could interpolate the frequency on my HW-100 to
within 2 kHz.
