Frequency Selection

The R1A-VHF receiver provides two 16-position rotary 

switches to select the frequency, adjusted with a small 

screwdriver inserted in the slot in the middle of the 

switches. The left-hand switch makes 2.8 MHz steps 

and the right-hand switch in 175 kHz steps, with the 

switch positions marked in hexadecimal numerals 0 

through F.
Frequencies are designated by two characters, such 

as B5, where first character is the left-and switch posi-

tion and the second character the right-hand switch 

position. Thus, in this example, B5 would indicate 

205.775 MHz, as shown in the table below.
