The frequency ranges shown are based on factory-default step settings. Step setting changes are user definable.

The modulation setting are default settings. The user can select from AM / FM / NFM / WFM / FMB/ AUTO.

You can select AUTO for modulation or step settings. If selected, the radio uses table values.

If you set the step to 15 kHz, programmable frequencies are then set to steps of xxx.x000, xxx.x150, xxx.x300, xxx.x450, xxx.x600, xxx.x750, and xxx.x900. For example, the next frequency of 400.0900 MHz is 400.1000 MHz.

If you set the step to 8.33 kHz, programmable frequencies are then set to steps of xxx.x000, xxx.x083, xxx.x166, xxx.x250,xxx.x333, xxx.x416, xxx.x500, xxx.x583, xxx.x666, xxx.x750, xxx.x833, and xxx.x916.For example, the next frequency of 100.0916 MHz is 100.1000 MHz.

If you set the step to 7.5 kHz, frequencies between 150.8150 and

154.6250 MHz must be multiples of 7.5 kHz based on 150.8150 MHz. For example, the next frequency after 150.8100 MHz is 150.8150 MHz. The next frequency after 154.6250 MHz is 154.6275 MHz.
