I think this is relaated to your using AFC and NET, and AFSK?  MARK is on
the screen so you can know what's going on.  If you're using AFC and the guy
your talking with is using high tones and is 25 Hz off frequency, then the
MARK window will show 2120 or 2150.  This is just informational, but it
reminds you that you're using AFC.  Now, if you're also using NET and AFSK,
then your TRANSMIT frequency will be trying to match the other station's
frequency, and if you're S&Ping, it's possible to wander around all over the
place.  Pretty soon your transmit frequency isn't at all what you think it
is.  73 - John, WA9ALS
