personally I just leave all 3 on 5khz since it works the same...but 
typically step size for 440 would be 25KhZ for the ham band...commercial 
would be 12.25, or 6.125 depending on how crowded the band is in your area.
I think 220 is 5Khz
But if you leave all 3 on 5khz it'll program just fine...unless you have an 
odd ball ham repeater frequency on 440 or 220 which is highly unlikely.
I prefer the 5KHZ step size because when I'm rolling the VFO around I don't 
want to miss anything.

What is the recommended step frequencies for 220 and 440 MHz? I believe it's 
5 KHz for 2 meters. I ran into this question when programming my THF6A.
