7800 setup

Anyone know how to get the radio to tune in smaller steps in the 430+ bands? Say if I wanted to listen to 480.8125 It only lets me pickup 480.800 or 480.825. Is there a radio setting to change that?

1) Tuning Dial
Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the VFO
frequency. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-7800R to be tuned toward a
higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will
lower the operating frequency.
Press the [MHz(PRI)] key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL knob, to change the frequency steps to 1 MHz
per step.
This feature is extremely useful for making
rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range
of the FT-7800R.
I assume you can adjust the steps down in the same manner.
