Not quite.  The user changes the offset on a channel and has no effect at all on the radio.  The memory editor shows the user's entry until it refreshes the channel from the radio.

There's nothing wrong with this.  It just seams rude to let the user believe he's making a change that makes no sense to the radio.

I have considered adding a Settings editor to the IC-7000 to support band offset changes but that will not be part of this patch.
