[Icom] Re: Ic207H Tuning Steps:

[Gary Pearce KN4AQ]

Hi, Stu,

I won't say it's impossible, but I've never seen such a mod for any ham FM 
radio.

The apparent 2.5 kHz keyboard entry is probably a result of the radio's 
ability to tune in 12.5 kHz steps.

My limited experience with FM signals from space (mostly from ISS and 
Shuttle contacts) is that 5 kHz steps are adequate, if not ideal, for 
Doppler compensation.
