Collin:
The weird thing is that we have set the radio to a 12.5 khz frequency step,
and it still does the rounding thing.
I guess maybe it's back to the insttruction manual now for help. ... I also
have the computer software, but haven't used it for a while.
One way or other, we'll get this resolved.
Thanks for your help, and 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
