A lot of rigs work this way....tune the guy to same pitch as your side tone, and ...that's it!! What would be interesting is....I wonder if this has been going on for a long time? Was my old Kenwood 850 like that...or earlier than that even? I doubt my TS520S worked this way....or did it??

With most transceivers, if you make sure that the signal you are receiving is 
Tuned exactly to your side tone pitch then you will be on the same frequency as 
them.  This is the case with my Omni 6+. It is also the case with my Yaesu FT 
857d.

I ran an on-air test with Jim and found that when using my Omni VI+, 
transmitting on 14.052.50, Jim was receiving me at 14.053.11 on his Omni 6.  
When he transmits, I receive him just fine if I engage the RIT and listen up 
500 Hz, which just about coincides with what his rig is telling him his 
transmit frequency is.  So, it seems that when he hears a CQ and answers it, he 
is actually about 500 Hz higher in frequency than the guy he is hearing.
I hope this helps diagnose his problem.  I'm not savvy enough to know the fix, 
other than temporarily engage the RIT or XIT and preset that 500 Hz difference.
