Choosing the correct frequency step size is essential in selecting your exact
frequency. The default step size on the 144 MHz band is 5 kHz (K type) or
12.5 kHz (E, M4 types). The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 25 kHz. For K
type models, the default on the 118, 220, or 300 MHz band is 12.5 kHz and the
default on the 1200 MHz band is 25 kHz.
1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or B, then press [VFO].
2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 101 (STEP) {page 20}.
3 Set the step size to 5.0*, 6.25*, or 8.33 kHz (118 MHz band only) or to 10.0,
12.5, 15.0*, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0, 50.0, or 100.0 kHz.
* These step sizes are not available for the 1200 MHz band.
Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayed frequency. For example, if
144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step size selected, changing to a 12.5 kHz step size
corrects the displayed frequency to 144.9875 MHz.
