NOTE
You have approximately 5 seconds between
each number entry; otherwise, the radio
reverts back to the previously selected fre-
quency.
With each number entry, a valid keypress tone
sounds. When 6 digits are displayed, the receiver
is set to the entered frequency.
NOTE
If an invalid number is pressed, the valid
number nearest the invalid keypress is
entered such that the selected frequency will
not be outside the allowed frequency band.
Valid frequencies entered via the keypad are
dependent on the frequency step size previ-
ously selected. The LCD only displays valid
numbers.
