GRE PSR-500, with Win500 software wont accept 799.3625 , even though scanner back says it covers that range

Hello.
I am having an issue trying to program in a freq of 799.3625 Mhz into my GRE PSR-500 scanner.

It wont accept this frequency and defaults to 796.xxxx (Sorry I cant remember the exact tenths)

The back of the scanner clearly states on the plaque that it covers 764-823.9875 Mhz

Any ideas how to get around this issue?

Can you program it direct on the radio itself?

Does Flex Step fix this kind of problem? Mike

There is a gap in coverage including 799Mhz.

The wiki contains this note: 796-806 Mhz is blocked due to intermod issues. See this thread for more information

You can try FlexStep. Go to the Extended Settings tab in Win500 and check the box to Enable FlexStep.
