[chirp_users] offset precision

Hi,I've just set up CHIRP and downloaded the memory channel list from my Baofeng UV-5RV2+.
I notice that the offsets on my saved channels are not exactly what I expected to see.

For the channels where I have set the offset to 000.600 in the radio, it's showing 0.601550 or 0.599890 in CHIRP.
For the channels where I have set the offset to 005.000 in the radio, it's showing 5.001550 or 4.999890 in CHIRP.
My question is, do I need to make any changes to these offset entries before writing the image back to the radio?  Should I fix the entries to show the exact frequencies that I entered in the radio, or are the shifted frequencies correct?
As a side note, I see that the default offset for channels that I have not set up are exactly 0.600000.
I'm afraid to write an image back to the radio that could cause a problem so I thought it would be best to check first.

Thanks.Ed
