Changing the Frequency Step Size

Choosing the correct frequency step size is essential in selecting your exact frequency. The default step size on the 144 MHz band is 5 kHz (K type) or

12.5kHz (E, M4 types). The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 25 kHz. For K type models, the default on the 118, 220, or 300 MHz band is 12.5 kHz and the default on the 1200 MHz band is 25 kHz.

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

2Enter Menu mode and access Menu 101 (STEP) {page 20}.

3Set the step size to 5.0*, 6.25*, or 8.33 kHz (118 MHz band only) or to 10.0, 12.5, 15.0*, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, or 100.0 kHz.

* These step sizes are not available for the 1200 MHz band.

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.
