just pressing function 9 again will get you out of that setting parameter.

Hi Colin!

OK, I've read your below and the manual (around page 37 "Quick QSY"); but I
am still a little confused.  I think I need to do something like the below,
but I need a bit more help.

1. Switch to the sub receiver.
2. Be on the UHF band.
3. Press [Function] [9].
4. Change to the proper step size (see my following, though).

I think from your below that I should select "25" at this point.  Seemingly,
this would be three clockwise clicks on the MFC; presuming it is now at
12.5.  However, once selected, what then should I do to set it?  Press
[Enter]?

Many thanks & 73,
Richard KK6MRH

Looks like it's function, then 9, to change the step size.

Hey Richard:
you have set the step size on UHF to 12.5KHZ instead of the standard 25KHZ
which is default on the ts2000 and standard spacing for the amateur band.
Many commercial frequencies use 12.5KHZ though.
Take a look at the manual to see how to select step size.
Set the step size while you are on the UHF band in the sub receiver.  Once
set, it will stay there until you change it.
I don't now recall if it is a menu setting or a function setting to change
step size...but it's very simple to do either way.

Hi!



Somehow, when I enter a frequency using the numeric number pad the actual
frequency that the radio tunes-to is slightly different.  For example, when
I enter 445.420 MHZ, the rig actually tunes-to 445.1875 MHZ.  This is only
happening on the sub receiver, not on the main receiver.  And, if I then use
either the VFO or the MFC to try to tune to 445.420, it moves instead to
445.425 - it skips over 445.420.  Seemingly, it tunes in steps of 02375 MHZ.



In fact, I cannot tune to 445.420 any way I try.  It is like there is some
rounding or offset thing happening.  I may have mistakenly pressed some
sequence of buttons that is causing this, but I do not know how to undo
this.



Thanks & 73,

Richard KK6MRH
