Which action is the fifth step in loading SINCGARS frequency?

• A. Set FCTN to SQ ON
• B. Press LOAD
• C. Press FREQ
• D. Press CLR

Answer: (B)

The action being tested is the moment you commit the entered frequency into the radio’s memory so it becomes the active channel. In the SINCGARS loading sequence, you prepare the radio, access the frequency entry screen, input the desired digits, and then you finalize by saving that entry. This final save step is what makes the frequency actually usable, so it’s the fifth action in the sequence. Pressing LOAD writes the entered frequency into the selected channel, whereas the other steps — setting the function mode, opening the frequency screen, or clearing input — are preparatory or corrective actions, not the act that stores the value.
