The  Pro96 as well as some other GRE made radios use odd fixed steps 
sizes in  its different bands so you can't always tune the actual frequency.

This  problem is still present in some of their newer digital models as  
well.
Below are the bands and step sizes as hardcoded by the Pr096  firmware.
