The
VR-160
’s frequency synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/
8.33/9/10/12.5/15/20/25/50/100 kHz per step (optional values differ depending on the band
selected). A number of steps may be important to your operating requirements. Automatic
(“AUTO”) step selection is based on the current operating frequency. The
VR-160 is set
up at the factory in the “AUTO” configuration, which probably is satisfactory for most
operation. However, if you need to change the channel step increments, the procedure to
do so is very easy.
