BC200XLT Frequency Entry Error

sparkie001 · Apr 11, 2025

Hi - When I try to enter 446.36MHz (1 MANUAL 446.360E) it forces the frequency to 446.362. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Steve W6SJK

Welcome to the RR forums. 446.360 isn't a valid frequency. The scanner is simply correcting it based on the nearest valid 12.5khz step (446.3625)

You won't be off by enough to make a difference.

Ah, many thanks. Was just trying to store a repeater frequency.

The 200XLT is a great scanner. A friend of mine had one in 1991/92. It was the handheld to have at that time
