PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVE-ONLY
CHANNELS
Note: When programming, rotate the Channel selector
SLOWLY . If you rotate the Channel selector too quickly, the

click to activate frequency programming . 'OFF' will
disappear and '46500' will be displayed indicating a
frequency of 465 .000 MHz (the lower end of the radio's
frequency range) .
Note: Because the display is only able to show the first 5
digits of the frequency, the last 'kHz' digit is not displayed .
However, since the frequency can only be selected in 25 kHz
steps, it is easy to 'guess' the actual frequency since the
missing digit will always alternate between
0 and 5 kHz .
