cannot reproduce and missing track file UHF frequencies cannot be changed

Hello everyone,

I found that I cannot change UHF frequencies via the input of DED (I can change VHF). Is it a bug?

Not seeing the same, I can both change the selected frequency in the scratchpad and alter the preset frequencies for both UHF and VHF radios.

Only issue I can see is that AFAIK the VHF input formatting isn't correct. For example, typing in '131' and enter should give you 131.00, but instead gives you an invalid input; similarly, typing '131.2' and enter should give you 131.20 but instead gives you 13.12. UHF input is correct however.

Because the com2 radio can do VHF AM and VHF FM for example 130.00 MHz and 35.00 MHz respectively there may be a different handling of input format compared to com1 which only handles UHF.

Since all AMs start with a 1 and are three digits and all FMs don't start with a 1 and are two digits I would think the system would automatically know the most logical input.

EDIT: Checking it says "trailing zeros may be ignored" which would be impossible with the current fixed decimal point scratchpad entry. If you enter just *123* on the scratchpad on the 3rd digit there is an automatic decimal added to the string. However it's always placed between the 2nd and 3rd digits even in cases like 123 when you're clearly entering a VHF AM 100.0+ MHz value. The only way to get 123.00 is to enter all five digits which I don't think is right.

Thank you very much!!
