Different numbers of decimals for frequencies in text msg

I observed that manual created messages (or precombined as alias) using the $freq built-in function show all decimals which are provided in the sector file (or at least the 3 our file has) whereas the autotext function sticks to 2 decimals only. I'm aware that the network respectively the older simulators only support 2 decimals. However today there are even sim addons available displaying the missing digit. So it's not so devious to provide 3 decimals for voice and text pilots. There might be discussion what is better to instruct the pilots for frequency change.

But anyway, I would appreciate if the $freq in-built function and the autotext function for frequency transfer would have the same number of decimals to be unanimous.
