Direct Tuning
Channels can be directly accessed by pressing and releasing the Knob and then using the 0 – 9 keys to enter the desired channel number (see Figure 36). Once the desired number has been entered, the channel will change and the display will revert to the Default screen for the selected channel. The SP5 will tune the channel immediately if three numbers are entered (for example, “0”, ”0”, “7”), but if just one or two digits are entered, the radio will tune to the new channel after three seconds.
