6414CHANGING FREQUENCY STEP SIZEChoosing the correct step size is essential in order toselect your exact frequency using the Tuning control orMic [UP]/ [DWN]. The default step size on the 144 MHzband is 5 kHz (U.S.A./ Canada) or 12.5 kHz. Thedefault on the 440/430 MHz band is 25 kHz no matterwhich market version. For the U.S.A./ Canada version,the default on the 118, 220, or 300 MHz band is 12.5kHz and the default on the 1.2 GHz band is 25 kHz.1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A orB.• If necessary, press [F], then the same [BAND SEL] torecall the sub-band.2 Press [VFO].3 Press [F], [STEP].• The current step size appears and blinks.4 Press [ccccc]/ [ddddd] to select the desired step size.• The selectable step sizes are 5, 6.25, 10, 12.5, 15, 20,25, 30, 50, and 100 kHz.5 Press [OK] to complete the setting.Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayedfrequency. For example, if 144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz stepsize selected, changing to a 12.5 kHz step size corrects the displayedfrequency to 144.9875 MHz.PROGRAMMABLE VFOIf you always check frequencies within a certain range,set upper and lower limits for frequencies that areselectable using the Tuning control or Mic [UP]/[DWN]. For example, if you select 145 MHz for thelower limit and 146 MHz for the upper limit, the tunablerange will be from 145.000 MHz to 146.995 MHz.1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band Aor B, then press [VFO].• If necessary, press [F], then the same [BAND SEL]to recall the sub-band.2 Press [MNU], select Menu 1–3–1(PROGRAMMABLE VFO), then press [OK].• The current lower frequency limit blinks.3 Press [ccccc]/ [ddddd] to select the desired lowerfrequency limit, then press [OK].• The current upper frequency limit blinks.4 Press [ccccc]/ [ddddd] to select the desired upperfrequency limit, then press [OK].5 Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode.Note:uYou cannot program the 100 kHz and subsequent digits.uThe exact 100 kHz and subsequent digits of the upper limitdepend on the frequency step size selected.
