The IF's I have seen are:
10.7, 10.8, & 10.85
The Pro-2026's I have are 10.8.
Program in something simple, like 150.000 and look up and down at each
of those intervals.
This is a good quicky test-much better than keying up a handheld nearby
or something. If you can compare how the rx in question hears it to a
known good rx, you can even get an idea of whether it's ok or a little sick!
