PRO-96 Step Spread

[hcpholder]

I have looked in the Pro-96 Owner's Manual and can not find anything regarding the "step" increments that the Pro-96 supports. The only references I see are to steps 5 and 6.25. Does that mean it would support a 12.5 step programming? Thanks.

It really doesn't matter, since the 96/2096 does not support NFM (acutally SNFM) just getting close to the target frequency is good enough.

It truly depends on where you are talking about in the frequencies. If you are talking about the 137-174Mhz range, it does 5, 6.25, and 7.5Khz steps. If you are using Win96 to program the scanner, you will know if the frequency that you program will take if allowed for that portion of the spectrum.

Oh, I thought it would make a difference with the "rebanding"! My bad!

The tables (multi-table) will accept the suggested changes mentioned in the sticky at the top of the forum. The radio has always "rounded" to the closest frequency, it just was not noticeable in the 800 range because it was set up on a 25 KHz split. I will accept the 12.5 KHz split okay. Where it seems to come up is in the current changes happening in the VHF band, and as I said, it really doesn't matter.
