Center button mode cycling:
- Channel mode/UART control (default) - blinking left arrow
- Scan mode - label "SCAN..." and blinking star symbol, if
squelch is open - blinking exclamation symbol and channel name label
- Manual frequency mode - 10 kHz step, label "MANUAL" instead of channel name
Up/Down buttons work in all circumstances.

1 | 137.200 | CH-1 | - |
2 | 137.100 | NOAA-19 | Working, possible interference with Meteor M N1 |
3 | 137.400 | OKE/SIC | OKEAN-0/SICH M-1 sporadic |
4 | 137.500 | NOAA-17 | Off (stalled scan motor), sporadic carrier from Tiros-N, NOAA-6 and NOAA-9 |

Just flash it to a AT90S2313 (a ATtiny2313 should also work - could not test it) and replace the original AT89C2051 chip.
