This section introduces the basic operating details of the
Apollo SL40 VHF Communications Transceiver.

2. Turn the Small, inner knob to change
the values in 25 kHz increments. The
kHz selection range is between 000 and
975 kHz in 25 kHz steps. Note that only

and counterclockwise to decrease the frequency values.
