Programming 785d Question

[jwile20vt]

Have had my 785d for less than a year ( bought used ) and on some freq's when i program them i'v noticed some change when i hit enter or programmed into the radio.

I would search this question but Honestly dont know how to word the search , I tried 785 programming and such but just got the basic how to , just want to know if its a bad thing or does the radio round some freq's up? just wierd

thanks for your time

It sounds like you are using the Auto step function and the scanner/software is rounding the frequency. This is a normal thing, but does not work. If not, could you provide an exact example of what is happening.

cool , guess just dont know about steps that much , when i enter for example the freq for a local scanbuff group ( but happens with alot ) which is 463.5500 it changes it to 0467.2875

this happens with others iv tried just never knew i had to adj the step menual ... this is my first "newer" scanner let alone digital . My old scanners with just direct entry radio shack radios... thanks for replies for any info
