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 is 5 kHz on the 144 MHz band and 25 kHz on the 440 MHz band.
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
2Press [VFO].
3Press [F], [STEP].
• The current step size appears and blinks.

4Press [c]/ [d] to select your 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.
1Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or B, then press [VFO].

2Press [MNU], select Menu
• The current lower frequency limit blinks.
3Press [c]/ [d] to select your desired lower frequency limit, then press [OK].
• The current upper frequency limit blinks.
4Press [c]/ [d] to select your desired upper frequency limit, then press [OK].
5Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode.
Note:
◆You cannot program the 100 kHz and subsequent digits.
◆The exact 100 kHz and subsequent digits of the upper limit depends on the frequency step size selected.
