IMO there's no one "right" way. Either way is correct.

I own several older rigs and they use different methods. For example Yaesu FT-901 has RX offset, Kenwood TS-830 has TX offset. But in all cases the frequency as shown on the display during TX is the true carrier frequency being transmitted. The reason why the sketch currently uses TX offset rather than RX offset is just for simplicity reasons. During RX the raduino doesn't "know" whether we are listening to a SSB or a CW signal. Only during TX the raduino can differentiate between SSB and CW. Because when the mike's ptt switch is pressed, it knows it's SSB and no offset is needed. When the morse key is down it knows it's CW so it knows it has to add the extra offset. In the current setup the user can only toggle between LSB/USB. When the key is down this automatically becomes CWL/CWU. For RX offset we would need an extra mode switch so that the operator can select LSB, USB, CWL, CWU, which would tell the raduino whether or not to apply the RX offset. Perhaps we can find a different clever way for mode selection that doesn't involve extra switches. If we have some bytes left we may be able to do it from the software. But that may become a challenge. 73 Allard PE1NWL On Thu, June 1, 2017 18:55, Jerry Gaffke via Groups.Io wrote:
