I may be reading too much into that statement, but just to be clear...
it is not that simple... On most FM rigs you cannot turn the knob both ways at once, to the left for TX and to the right for RX . You have to tune the TX and RX in opposite directions at the same time every 2 minutes or so. Hence, the suggestion to pre-tune the -/+10, -/+5 , 0, +/-5, and +/-10 kHz offsets in 5 memories to make it trivial to make the 5 steps during the pass.
However, on multi-mode rigs which have computer control, that can be done via the PC (updating both RX and TX freqs).
