•Clockwise rotation increases the frequency one frequency step at a time.

•Counterclockwise rotation decreases the frequency one step at a time.

•To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz, press [MHz] first. Pressing [MHz] again cancels the 1 MHz function. To change in steps of 10 MHz, press

[F] + [MHz] first. Pressing [F] cancels the 10 MHz function; pressing [MHz] starts the 1 MHz function.

•If you cannot select a particular receive frequency, the

frequency step size needs to be changed. See

"CHANGING FREQUENCY STEP SIZE" {page 65} for

 

further information.
