If you hold down the

. You will not
transmit.
2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry [14]
You do not enter the decimal point as you enter the
frequency.
If you start to enter a frequency and then change your
mind, press the Push To Talk key to abort
6
. You will not transmit.
If you enter a frequency that is not a multiple of the step size [77], the radio will
round it to the nearest valid value. For example, given a step size of 12.5 KHz, if
you try to enter 145.5630 it will display as 145.5625 before you get a chance to
enter the zero.
If you were using the VFO scanning function (see page 14), and the display
stopped at an active frequency, you
cannot enter a new frequency. You must
first briefly press the
Up or
Down key before you can directly enter a
frequency.
If you try to enter a frequency outside of the specified bands, the display will
show ERROR for about 1 second and then revert back to the last valid
frequency.
