Does anyone know how to switch between frequency display and channel display (and back) on a Magnum 257

sure do,

with radio turned on,

press and realese function/clarifyer knob

press and realese button two (call button)

point to note, if the rig has been broadbanded the channel readout will be wrong for the uk cb radio freq's

i have mine on freq readout and have my laminated freq printout with the freq's next to the correct channels on it works a treat
