TUNING BY CHANNEL NUMBER 1. Press the desired channel number. Leading zeros such as 02 are not necessary. 2. Press CH/FRQ. By not using a decimal point, the meter automatically tunes to either the Picture or Audio Carrier of the channel number that was entered.The display will indicate the channel number followed by a P for Picture or an A for Audio and the signal level. -
