This would have been a great scanner, except, the rigid frequency step rate is preset for the band.  This is a problem.  For example, a repeater on the 1.25m ham radio band might be at 224.760 MHz.  This scanner will not accept the frequency as valid, and will fall back to 224.7625 because it increments at 12.5 KHz steps between 216 - 224.9875 MHz (FM).  At 225 MHz the step remains 12.5 KHz, however, modulation changes from FM to AM.   This would have been a great scanner, except, the rigid frequency step rate is preset for the band.  This is a problem.  For example, a repeater on the 1.25m ham radio band might be at 224.760 MHz.  This scanner will not accept the frequency as valid, and will fall back to 224.7625 because it increments at 12.5 KHz steps between 216 - 224.9875 MHz (FM).  At 225 MHz the step remains 12.5 KHz, however, modulation changes from FM to AM. ==use== 1) to program a frequency into memory You want to be in channel mode.  Select manual mode.  dial in the desired channel.  use the keypad to enter the frequency.  press the "E" button to enter the frequency into that memory channel.
