CLMRN using BCD352P2 and the 5th decimal digit

[fireman_bob]

Hi, I'm having poor reception on some of the CLMRN frequencies, namely the ones with the 5th digit ending it "5" like 769.73125. I am unable to program that last "5" for the frequency. It shows up as 769.7312. How important is this digit and how do I get the scanner to save it?

You may be able to change the band plan step sizes. Consult the manual for that possible ability. Or, use the automatic download into your scanner program… that may make the change for you.

This has been discussed numerous times and often on Radio Reference.

Try this one:
BCD996P2: - Programming BCD996P2

or this one:
BCD436HP: - BCD536HP frequency problem

No, it won't make a difference.

Thank you for the replies. I tried programming both manually and with Freescan, no luck having it show up. According to the other threads, it doesn't appear to affect performance.

That is correct. The bandwidth of the scanner on specific frequencies, is much wider than that, so you'll have no issues. (Even if set to NFM)
