Ok, I am on FO-29 right now and I see what I did wrong.  I quit and came
back and, as you said, it came up with an offset of '0' but with the correct
freq pair.

I needed to use Change/Store: Rx/Tx Freq data" instead of "Uplink
Calibration".  What exactly does "Uplink Calibration" do differently?

Michael,
for fine-tuning of the uplink frequency it's best to  use the "Upl.Calibr."
controls in the menu "CAT".
Once you hear your downlink signal from - say FO-29 -  with the correct
audio pitch click the button "Change/Store Data File".
In the window that opens click on "Store ....Uplink Calibration". While
doing this you may watch the frequency list in the menu CAT. You will see
that the uplink value on the highlighted line will change accordingly (and
be saved) and the correction value above the SatPC32 frequency window will
be re-set to 0.

The uplink frequency calibration function works only with SSB sats. With FM
sats the nominal frequencies can be left unchanged. If a change is required
it can manually be done in the (text)  file "Doppler.SQF".
