Default A Kenwood HF rig's "real" frequency in CW

Hi All,

This may sound like a very silly question, but what is the "true"
frequency of, lets say, a Kenwood TS-530S? What I mean is, when it is
said that a particular CW calling frequency is exactly "7.040MHz",
then should I set the TS-530S' frequency display to 7.040MHz (in
receive mode), or to 7.0392MHz (for a display of 7.040MHz during
transmit) to be spot-on a designated Calling Frequency? I obviously
would like to make 100% sure that I'm exactly on frequency, and not
off by 800Hz, when monitoring for any CQs!

Thanks for any clarification,

-Bill
