I tried to program a 155 MHZ frequency into my BC796D with a 5 KHZ spacing. It would not work until I changed it to 12.5 The frequency is 155.4375 and it now works fine. My question is I thought everything in this range had to had a 5 KHZ space or is this just a odd frequency?

Well, duh, first. You program in a channel on 12.5 KHz spacing, no suprise the scanner has to BE in that spacing. Though in fact, the spacing is even smaller than that, in this case, the channels are on 7.5 KHz spacing, and this one just happens to also be a 12.5 KHz channel.

No, not all channels in the 155 range are 5 KHz spacing. They actually have various spacings, used to be mostly 15 or 20 KHz, now being converted to smaller spacings. Depending on the original spacing, they may be at 12.5, 7.5, or 6.25 KHz spacing now!
