How to Simply Manually Punch in a Frequency
- push VFO/MR orange button to make sure it’s in ‘frequency mode’, not in ‘channel mode’. If you have the voice feature on (on by default) the girl will tell you which mode you are in. Push it again to check if you aren’t sure and cycle through the two options
