Default BC95XLT display indicators: 25/50/75?

Are these just additional frequency decimal places (i.e., 411.768 75
means 411.76875) or do these mean something else?


Yes they are additional decimal places.

The scanner seems to use 6.25 kHz steps on the 400 MHz band ie. during
search the actual frequency is incremented 6.25 kHz (0.00625 MHz)
and goes like this:

411.00000
411.00625
411.01250
411.01875
411.02500
411.03125
411.03750
411.04375

etc.

On other bands like 800 and 900 MHz it seems to use 12.5 kHz steps:

931.00000
931.01250
931.02500
931.03750
931.05000
931.06250

So the indicators simply show the fourth and fifth decimal places.
