Agree. I've asked for that, too.

Yes, at least I tried to avoid frequencies such as xxxxx.8, because %Z
truncates rather than rounds. But, having 100Hz resolution allows us to
exchange frequency information accurately enough. Except for the
discrepancy between Mark frequency by FSK stations and suppressed carrier
frequency by AFSK stations. But, when everyone uses the K3, FSK vs. AFSK
won't matter because the K3 dial frequency is always Mark frequency for
either one, if in data mode.
