Jud,

Search the web to see if there's a hack to change the increments from .2MHz to .1, or resign yourself to the fact that you're lucky that you can get 2 out of 3

This is the one big problem with buying from the US.

Cheers,
Nick.

Jud,

Google - you may be lucky... On the other hand, what you need may be completely impossible

English watts are bigger than american watts

Good luck!
Nick.
