Agreed.

Well, the function is "strMHZ", and it prints a frequency in MHz with
exactly 3 digits precision - so rounding to the nearest kHz is
exactly the right thing to do.

That would IMHO be less useful, and require changes to MANY boards
(essentially all of them) as the output format needs to be adjusted.

Best regards,
