The manual override frequency capability is only displayed if the box is not currently hunting and the operator presses the MENU key while OOB OSD diagnostics are displayed. The MAN Freq displays the LKC and allows the operator to select (vial scroll up/down) a specific frequency to check if a valid OOB is on that specific frequency. The

MAN Freq parameter is the OOB frequency selected in the frequency selection mode and displayed in MHz, with the specific values of: 75.25, 104.20, 72.75, 92.25, 98.25,

107.25, 107.40, 110.25, 116.25, and 103.75.
