Step Size Selection - Kenwood TH-78A Instruction Manual

5) The transceiver actually changes frequency only after the 1 kHz digit is entered. The 1 kHz digit is not
displayed if it is a zero.
If you do not enter the 1 kHz digit, the 1 kHz indicator flashes and the transceiver defaults to the previous
operating frequency.
Notes
1 If the frequency step of the UHF band is 10 or 20 kHz, the 1 kHz digit becomes zero
automatically when you enter the 10 kHz digit.
2 If you press an invalid key, the valid value nearest to that number is entered.
3 If you do not press a key within 10 seconds, the normal frequency display returns.
4 If you press the VFO key during input, the digits showing - return to the values that appeared
before the direct entry mode was selected.
If the frequency step is 12.5 or 25 kHz, the input ends with the 10 kHz
digit. The 10 kHz keys and frequencies set with the keys are listed
below.
