Manual tune UHF not below 230.00 MHz

[mwd2]

I am not able to tune the UHF-radio manual to 225.00 MHz - the second knob can only turn between 3 and 0.

This is intended behavior as the intermediate position would otherwise result in the frequency 220.00, which is outside of the supported range. So the knob "blocks".

You first have to move the third knob to 5, then you can move the second down to 2. In general, prefer setting the frequency from right to left.

Ah... Maybe this should be incorporated in the Manual? I couldn't find anything related to this quirk.

 Wow, crazy mechanical solution has to be behind that  

Never thought of that. Thx so much.
