IC-7100: Tuning

Studying the manual, I see so many ways to tune this radio at so many different steps. 

1) Default tuning - Tuning Step depends on the band and the mode.  The default tuning steps cannot be changed.

2) Tuning with Mic Keys - The radio tunes at 50khz when the up and down keys on the mic are used

3) Quick Tuning - This is the best to use to give you control of the default value. But remember, Quick Tuning is mode specific.

Press and hold kHz section of frequency display until a flat arrow appears above the last digit.

A screen may open (if not press again and hold a little longer) to let you select the tuning step to use for that mode.

Then, even if you change modes, change back to this one, turn the radio off and back on, as long as that arrow is there, that mode will tune the frequency by the selected step. 

4) MHz Quick Tuning - Press and hold the MHz section of the frequency. The radio will change from 1 MHz to 10 MHz steps. You can't control the step value here, but you can get to wher eyou want to be faster.

If you're tuning at a different rate, check that Quick Tuning is on or off like it was when you had different performance.
