The
FT-8800R
’s synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/10/12.5/15/
20/25/50 kHz per step, any number of which may be important to your operating require-
ments. The
FT-8800R
is set up at the factory with different default steps on each operating
band which probably are satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to change the
channel step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy; remember to get set up on the
desired band before making any changes, as different steps may be programmed for each
operating band.
1. Press the [
SET
] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the “ Main ” band DIAL knob to select Menu #38 (
STEP
).
3. Press the “ Main ” band
DIAL
knob momentarily, then rotate the “ Main ” band
DIAL
knob
to select the new channel step size.
4. Press and hold in the “ Main ” band
DIAL
knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
