even if the Beep function is turned OFF.

This function is used to prevent transmitting on a
channel or frequency that somebody else is currently
using.  When turned ON, an error beep sounds and you
cannot transmit even if you press Mic [PTT] while
another party is using the channel or frequency.

Choosing the correct frequency step size is essential in
selecting your exact receive frequency using the Tuning
control or Mic [UP]/[DWN].  You can select your desired
frequency step size from:

2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 15 kHz,
20 kHz, 25 kHz, 30 kHz, 50 kHz, 100 kHz.

To change the frequency step size:

1 While in VFO Mode, press [F], [MENU] and turn the

Tuning control to select Menu No. 1 (STP).

Note:  If you change to a frequency step size that does not match the
current operating frequency, the transceiver automatically adjusts the
frequency to match the new frequency step size.
