Flex 8600M 100Hz off frequency on WSJT-X and CW.

I have a rather new Flex 8600M with the GPSDO upgrade. Today I was on WSJT-X with friend who also owns Flex 8600M. We noticed that we were about one hundred Hz off frequency. He also has the GNSS. Both radios were connected to satellites via the GPS with the on button turned blue and my radio GPS status was "Fine Lock". We noticed that we were about 100 Hz different in frequency in FT8 and CW. My friend made contacts with a couple of other hams and their frequencies were very close, so it looks like my radio is off by about 100 Hz. I listened to WWV on 10MHz and my radio seemed to be on frequency. I am using SDR version 4.2.20. Anyone have any ideas for me and or things to check. Thank you. Steve W0SZ.

    Hi Steve, first, check to be sure that your XIT and RIT are turned off. If that is not it, make sure that your 10 MHz Source is set correctly (GNSS or GPSDO) and that it is locked.
