In loading a frequency into SINCGARS, which action is the third step?

• A. Set MODE to SC
• B. Set CHAN to MAN, CUE, or Channel 1-6
• C. Press FREQ
• D. Press CLR

Answer: (C)

Loading a frequency into SINCGARS is about moving from configuring the radio to actually specifying the frequency you want to use. After you set the operating mode and select the channel context, you must enter the frequency value itself. Pressing the frequency key is the action that puts the radio into frequency-entry mode, enabling you to input the numeric frequency. Pressing CLR would clear a field rather than begin entering a frequency, and simply choosing the mode or channel does not yet put the radio in the state to type the frequency. So, pressing the frequency key is the correct third step in this sequence.
