What are tuning steps?
Tuning steps are the frequency change
increments when you rotate the tuning
control or operate a scan. The following
steps are available: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 6.25,
8, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100
kHz and user programmable tuning
steps (p. 66).
It is important to set the proper tuning
step for the type of station you want to
listen to. Some tuning steps are deter-
mined by frequency band or receive
mode and others are set by tradition.
Generally speaking, if you set a tuning
step smaller than that needed you will
still be able to tune a station you want
(or scan it), however, tuning (or scan-
ning) will not be efficient. On the other
hand, if you select a tuning step which
is too large, you may not be able to find
the station you are looking for.
Consult local listings.
