Hi Brian,
I wonder if it is somewhat like the Yaesu VX-5R where you cannot set in
52.525 either without some maneuvering. On the VX-5 it is set for a 10 kHz
step on 6 meters so you cannot get to 52.525. But, you can change the step
to 5 kHz, set 52.525 into memory if you wish and then set the step back to
ten if you like.
I hope that might be of some help. 73

bc780xlt question: I've had a couple of friends look at mine and we
aren't able to figure out how to set in 52.525 as a frequency. Rig
continually goes to 52.530?? Yes, the rig isn't the easiest for blind
people to use. I have recently been reviewing "winscan" and it seems to
work pretty good with JAWS.
Brian, k5in
