On the F-11 Baofeng you cannot key in 100.000 mhz.
And this radio is a UV5R in sheep's clothing. Not sure
that it's unique firmware prohibits keying in out of
band frequencies but it does cover FM broadcast
from 76 to 108 mhz. So I don't know why you can't
key in FM broadcast into the VFO. That must be a
different part of the radio separate from the VFO.
Also you can't enter the FM broadcast mode while
in VFO mode and I don't think you can have FM
broadcast frequencies saved. So I'd like to know
of another UV5R owner that can key in 100.000 mhz.

I don't think the VFO will let you key in a leading ZERO

I don't have a radio handy so I can't verify this, but I believe you would set STEP=10KHz, key in 100.000 and then press the down arrow key until you get to 076.040

Laine,

Enter the leading zero. So in this case you would enter 076040 which would be accepted as 76.040.

Hello Jim

You said you can enter any frequency in to the radio via the keypad

how do you put in a frequency like 76.040 seeing its only 5 numbers

Cheers
