I was wondering if anyone is using TH78a handheld to work AO-5, AO-27, and SO-51? If so wonder what downlink and upload frequencies you got programmed in? I got mine so it will take 436.800 but can't get 436.805 programmed. When I had a Icom IC-32 the downlink frequencies I had were as follows.
436.805 436.800 436.795 436.790 436.785 435.310 435.305 435.300 435.295 435.290
Just can't get it to take anything ending in 5.
Any help sure would be appreciated.

Nels, Make sure your channel spacing is set to 5kHz. Many radios default to 25kHz spacing in UHF.

Hi Nels!

The problem with the TH-78, and other Kenwood HTs before that one, is that it will not tune in 5 kHz steps on UHF. It's limited to 10 kHz as its smallest tuning step. You *might* be able to fool the radio into accepting those other frequencies by also changing the tuning steps, but I wouldn't hold out much hope for that.

Just to let you know that AO-5 is Non-Operational and you probably mean AO-51 (Not SO)he's in reboot mode as he suffer a software crash 2 days ago
