Bearcat 210xl programming

[tbn916]

I have a Bearcat 210xl and don't know if I can use it as all of the frequencies I try to put in it will not take. I can only put in six numbers. I need to put in three followed by a dot and then four more. Am I out of luck?

No, your not out of luck, the radio will only accept the 3 digits past the decimal point. You will be able to hear the channel just fine. The radio was made before 12.5khz spacing existed, so no 4th digit.

EX: Actual freq. 453.9875...you program 453.987...bingo your in business.
Don't forget to press the enter (E) key to store the frequency.
