Remember: All commands are lower case letters. 6.) Begin by VERIFYing the information about your transmitter. 5.
The computer will respond with "=1", as follows: The first available frequency to you is 150.0000 Mhz. The second is 150.0125 Mhz. The third is 150.0250 Mhz. And so on through 173.9750, 173.9875, and 174.0000. Your frequency will always start with a "1" - so that is pre- 8.) The "1" is the 'hundreds" digit in your frequency (ie: 1xx.xxxx Mhz). Now type the next 5 digits of your frequency. Here is some information on VALID frequencies: Your available frequencies are spaced in 12.
Program a 0 or a 5, your next number must be a 0. Program a 1 or a 6, and your next number must be a 2. Program a 2 or a 7, your next number must be a 5. Program a 3 or an 8, your next number must be a 7.

As you can see from the example, the frequency entered was 158.9685 MHz. This is invalid per the rules. The software responds with a comma, then 6 zeros, and a carriage return. At this point, the program has not updated your transmitter, and is awaiting an input instruction (f, v, c, or s) from you. Enter an f so that you may re-enter a correct, valid frequency.
