Now, if I add one or two freq's in this bank for which a 7.5 KHz step
would seem right, e.g. xxx.9875, what happens ?

The bc780xlt doesn't program step sizes by bank, it is done by frequency.

a. If I leave all the steps at 25 KHz, does it just skip over this
xxx.9875 ?

Depends on the frequency range, different ranges have different default
step size. If the frequency entered doesn't fit within the specified
step size progression it will change to the closest frquency.


b. Does the radio round it to something commensurate with the 25 KHz
steps set for all the freq's
in the bank (which I guess would mean passing over this freq. ?) ?

See above. If you forced all of the channels to 25k, it's time to go
back and reread the manual.

c. BTW: where does the stepping increment start from? Is it always
xxx.0000 ?


Never gave it much thought....
