How to set the frequency you want?Have you see the button of VFO/MR? That's it! By this button you can switch the mode between frequency and channel.
- First turn on your tranceiver, press the VFO/MR, make sure it is on frequency mode;
- Second,press the numbers on keypad directly to enter the frequency, for instance: 5 2 0 0 0 0.
Congratulations, now the frequency of 520 is set well.
