The default step size onthe 144 MHz band is 5 kHz (K type) or 12.5 kHz (E, M4types). The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 25 kHz(K, E types) or 10 kHz (M4 type) .1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A orB, then press [VFO].2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 101.3 Set the step size to 5.0*, 6.25*, or 8.33 kHz (118 MHzband 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 displayedfrequency. For example, if144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step size selected, changingto a 12.5 kHz step size corrects the displayed frequency to 144.9875MHz.PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION KEYS■ Transceiver Front PanelThere are 2 PF (Programmable Function) keys on thetransceiver front panel: PF1 and PF2.
