CHANGING FREQUENCY STEP SIZE
Choosing the correct step size is essential in order to
select your exact frequency using the Tuning control or
Mic [UP]/ [DWN]. The default step size on the 144 MHz
band is 5 kHz (U.S.A./ Canada) or 12.5 kHz. The
default on the 440/430 MHz band is 25 kHz no matter
which market version. For the U.S.A./ Canada version,
the default on the 118, 220, or 300 MHz band is 12.5
kHz and the default on the 1.2 GHz band is 25 kHz.
1Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or
B.
• If necessary, press [F], then the same [BAND SEL] to
recall the sub-band.
2Press [VFO].
3Press [F], [STEP].
• The current step size appears and blinks.
4Press [cc
cc
c]/ [dd
dd
d] to select the desired step size.
• The selectable step sizes are 5, 6.25, 10, 12.5, 15, 20,
25, 30, 50, and 100 kHz.
5Press [OK] to complete the setting.
Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayed
frequency. For example, if 144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step
size selected, changing to a 12.5 kHz step size corrects the displayed
frequency to 144.9875 MHz.
PROGRAMMABLE VFO
If you always check frequencies within a certain range,
set upper and lower limits for frequencies that are
selectable using the Tuning control or Mic [UP]/
[DWN]. For example, if you select 145 MHz for the
lower limit and 146 MHz for the upper limit, the tunable
range will be from 145.000 MHz to 146.995 MHz.
