    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.
