7800 setup

[1loudLX]

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?

I don't have that radio but in the mean time, can't you just type in that freq using the mic?

RTM (Read The Manual)

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.
