The step is the channel spacing amount. You
can set this on many radios from 25 to 2.5
MHz. When you turn a tuning know in VFO mode,
this is the amount the radio changes frequency
by. </p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">If the radio’s step is too high, it
will not allow entry of some frequencies and
will do something (variable by radio) to go to
the next higher or lower frequency which
complies with the step value you have set.<span></span></p>

<div>This may be different for other radios, but ror the
radios that I program with CHIRP, the value in the STEP
setting is irreverent. You just key in the frequency that
you need to program into the radio. The value in the STEP
setting is only required to be set to any particular value
when programming in-the-field (without using programming
software).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, the STEP value in them is KHz, not MHz.<br>
