[Flexradio] CW receive question

Hi again Flexers...

I was going through the operation of the CWL/CWU modes, and I noticed 2 
things:

1. The function is not the same as LSB/USB selection in that when switching 
back and forth between these (LSB/USB) simply moves the passband from one 
side to the other.

With the CWL/CWU selecton, the passband remains fixed, while the frequency 
moves up and down...In fact, it almost looks like everything is simply moved 
in frequency as the actual location of the BP/signal intersecting point 
doesn't change, or is that only in appearance..?
Perhaps I'm not understanding this implementation...?  Is there a good 
description or a BP diagram a la Collins PBT diagrams, etc..? (Without the 
little bulldozer hihi....)

2. This may also be a misunderstood function on my part, but if I start at 
say 10Mhz WWV in AM mode, and switch to CWL, then to CWU, and finally back 
to AM, I find myself  1.2khz lower than where I started....Likewise if I 
cycle AM-CWL-CWU-AM, I end up 1200hz high.

I'll go back into the manual and see if I missed something, but an 
explanation would be much appreciated.... 73...Jordan VE6ZT
