When transmitting, the display should show the frequency of the carrier in the case of CW,
and should show the frequency of the suppressed carrier in the case of SSB.
If your firmware does otherwise, that's a bug.
The only funny stuff is during receive of CW, the receiver must tune to one side of the
incoming carrier so you can hear a beat note between that signal and your BFO.

When transmitting SSB, all three clocks are used in double conversion,?
the process is the same as during receive except reversed.
All three clocks remain the same when switching from receive to SSB transmit.
When transmitting CW, clk0 and clk1 are shut down, the mixer at D1,D2 is unbalanced,
and clk2 is set to the operating frequency.

I'd recommend the?algorithm of post???/g/BITX20/message/54501?for calibration.
Tune the rig following the algorithm of post??/g/BITX20/message/44278
The funny offset for CW receive is not included in that tuning algorithm, an exercise for the reader.
I have no idea what the various firmware releases are doing these days
except that none of them seem to be doing it right.

What firmware are you running??

Mine seems to be OK on xmit but several hundred Hz off on rcv. I'm thinking it might be the constants used in the firmware for the USB & LSB offsets. They're used by the firmware to calculate the freqs for CLK1 for a given dial freq. The BFO freq (CLK0) also will affect the actual tuned freq. AFAIK, the only way to change those CLK1 constants is editing the firmware source.

CLK2 is the only one used on xmit and then it should be the dial freq +- 800 Hz depending on sideband selection.

At least that's how I understand it from wading thru the firmware source (I'm running the CEC v1.11 firmware).

Mine also seems to change slightly as it warms up and it also does not seem to track linearly...if I get it spot on for, say, 14 Mhz, it's off at 7 Mhz and vice versa.
