    Question about a Alinco DJ-X11


    Forgive me I have been buried somewhere for the past 15 years (some call it marriage) I have decided to get back into scanning.
    I went out and got one of these Alinco DJ-X11 nice little radio.
    Anyhow I went to programme a simple frequency the other day and it won't happen

    477.400
    I know it's a UHF CB channel 40
    I put the frequency in and it refers to 476.750.

    any ideas ????

    hold down 3 when you turn it on, should change the bandplan to UK, that might help

    It was a bit of a fiddle it won't enter directly might be a firmware issue.

    You've got mode Wide FM set there, which may explain why it is defaulting to 100kHz steps.

    Change the mode to FM or NFM.

    G'day Turbo
    The setting was on auto initially.
    I manually changed it to FM so I could get that frequency.
