Default BC95XLT display indicators: 25/50/75?

This post asks a question pertaining to the Uniden Bearcat BC95XLT scanner.

Sometimes, after a frequency with an active transmission is found during the
search (Func + Src), it has a 25, 50, or 75 to the right of the frequency.

For example:

411.768 75
413.437 50
415.106 25

(The 25, 50, 75 is smaller than the main frequency numbers.)

Sometimes the numbers can also be seen cascading 25 - 50 - 75 in rapid
succession during the search--mainly through the 4##.### frequencies when
frequencies have not yet been found during the search. Also, when searching
through the 8##.### and 9##.### frequncies, only the 50 blinks on and off
during the search, and occasionally an 8##.### or 9##.### frequency will
have a 50 after it after a transmission has been found during the search.

Other examples:

931.812 50
936.737 50

Hopefully, my explanations have been clear enough, along with the examples
provided.

Are these just additional frequency decimal places (i.e., 411.768 75 means
411.76875) or do these mean something else? (The manual shows these
indicators as part of the display, but does not appear to explain what they
actually represent.)

Thanks in advance for any information regarding these 25/50/75 display
indicators.
