MARINE VHF CHANNELS, AND 89 SHORT WAVE BROADCAST FREQUENCIES.  AND FINALLY,
THERE ARE 10 DIRECT MEMORY RECALL CHANNELS THAT ARE ACCESSED BY PRESSING
AND HOLDING THE PDMR KEY THEN 0 9 ON THE KEYPAD.  INDIVIDUAL MEMORIES AND

TO SCAN SELECTED MEMORY BANKS, OR TO SCAN BETWEEN PREPROGRAMMED FREQUENCY
LIMITS.  VFO OPERATION, SCANNING AND MEMORY FUNCTIONS CAN BE ACCESSED
EASILY.  EASE OF OPERATION IS FACILITATED BY THE USE OF THREE MAJOR KEYS
