TUNING IN STATIONS

Turn on the G3. Stations are tuned with the Buttons, Tuning- Knob, Direct Frequency Entry and Auto-Search. Quick, short, sequential

presses of the buttons enables tuning up or down frequency. Alternately, the TUNING knob can be used. Continuous tuning in shortwave can only be done with the tuning knob and via direct frequency entry.

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

Turn on the G3. Use this method when the desired frequency of a radio station is known. AM, LW, SW and Air Band frequencies are entered in kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM frequencies are entered in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignoring the decimal point. NOTE: Aircraft frequencies are entered in Kilohertz (120100 KHz), but are normally given in Magahertz (120.1 MHz).

1.Use the numeric buttons to enter the frequency.

2.Within 3 seconds, press the AM button if it’s an AM, LW or SW frequency, or the FM button for FM and Air Band frequencies.

AUTO-SEARCH TUNING

With the G3 on, auto-search tuning starts by pressing either the up

or down frequency button for about 2 seconds. The G3 has 3 selectable auto-search modes: STOP, ATS or DELAY-5. The factory programmed default mode is STOP. These are described below. When auto searching shortwave stations, place the bandwidth switch into the WIDE position. Auto search is not recommended for SSB signals. STOP: Auto-searching stops on the next encountered station. DELAY-5:Auto-searching stops for 5 seconds on each next encountered station, then moves on.

AUTO-SEARCH TUNING continued

ATS: (Auto Tuning Storage): Auto-searching automatically stores the strongest FM local stations into memories starting with page 99 and counting downward until all are stored, e.g. 98, 97, 96, etc. Tune to the FM band and perform auto-search. After the ATS scan, select your

memory with the buttons and the station with the F1-7 buttons. If too many memories are filled with static, try the scan again with the DX/LOCAL switch set in the LOCAL position (down).

To select an auto-search mode:

1.With the radio turned off, hold down the F6 button for about 2 seconds, then release. Note that the last chosen mode flashes in the screen.

2.While the mode flashes, perform quick, short presses of the F6 button to select alternate modes.

3.Press PAGE/TIME button.

STORING STATIONS INTO MEMORY

The G3 has 700 memories (also called presets), arranged in 100 pages, with each page holding 7 memories. Buttons F1-7 represent memory locations.

Note that when storing into an already occupied memory position, its contents will be replaced with your new entry.

1.Turn on the G3.

2.Tune to the desired station.

3.Press the PAGE/TIME button to place the G3 into PAGE/MEMO mode (PAGE/MEMO is on the left side of the display).

4.Select the desired memory page with the buttons.

5.Store the frequency by pressing one of buttons F1-7 for about 2 seconds. Note that a flashing box appears around the selected memory location.

6.When finished storing stations, press the PAGE/TIME button to store your stations and exit MEMO mode.
