It's not just the 5 digit freq counter--sometimes it is the stupid "fine" and "course" dual clarifiers on the exports. That can case alot of trouble since the "fine" usually only adjusts RX, while the "course" changes both RX/TX. At least that's how my Galaxy is, and I think it's dumb. It is far too easy to be receiving a couple hundred HZ off, since even with 6 digits the freq display will track with the fine clarifier, even though the TX freq is staying the same.

The only solution is to leave the fine clarifier EXACTLY on center slot, and then don't mess with it. Tune to ear with the course clarifier, and you'll be good to go. But if your radio hasn't been aligned properly, you won't know where the exact center slot is on the fine clarifier.
