This is a post I made last year:
Found this video explaining CW Zero-beating. So based on this explanation the following is illustrated
for 7.040.000: Dial displays 07.040.000, you transmit on 07.040.000, and the receive is offset by the sidetone value.
Of course this is based on the video being correct.

I don't actually do CW -- so I'm playing conceptual catchup.?
If the uBITX screen shows -780hz relative to the external receiver received freq, and if this is typical, normal, and std,then I'm happy.
Total newbie asks typical stupid question....lingering question....I hate to ask this actually....
but this means that if uBITX display freq is X and I send CW,? then someone will have to tune to X+780hz to hear me, right?? ?So if two of us were to try and match logs, for example, my TX freq and their Receive freq would always be off by .78K. Wouldn't this be a problem? Or is it close enough for logging? with QRZ or LOTW, etc???
Thanks so much for the guidance and education.
