For example:
Assume you are presently displaying a frequency of
439.920 MHz and had previously selected a 20 kHz step
size. If you were to change the step size to 12.5 kHz the
display would then read 439.925 MHz.

4-2-4. Programmable VFO Tuning Limits

The radio provides the capability of programming the
VFO tuning range, in 1 MHz band segments, as well a
providing a separate programmable band scan function.

(See section 4-5.) For example, you could tell the

transceiver that you only wish to tune the 438.000 MHz
and 439.000 MHz band segment by specifying any
frequency with these two segments. The Tuning controls

would then only tune within these specific bands. The
procedure for specifying the bands is described below.

1. Press the VFO key to select the VFO mode.

Rotate the Tuning control until the desired lower

tuning range appears on the frequency display.

For example, you might want to select the 438 MHz
band and dial up 438.100 MHz.

2. Press the F key,for longer than 1 second, then press

the CALL key.

To confirm that the programming was properly
performed rotate the Tuning control.
The transceiver should not go above or below the
programmed band limits.
