OPERATION _______________________________________________

If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broad- casting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet.

One station which is always up-to-date is Deutsche Welle in Bonn. You can contact it at the following address:

Connecting the external SW antenna

To improve short wave reception, you can connect the external SW antenna supplied.

1Insert the plug of the antenna cable into the »SW EXT. ANT.« socket on the left of the device.

Note:

Unroll and align the antenna to achieve the best reception. If there is interference, you can move the »DX./LO.« switch to »LO.«.

SSB reception (for example for radio hams and shipping)

Some short wave stations broadcast Morse code for shipping using conti- nuous waves (CW). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is normally broadcast on the single side band (SSB).

1Select the SW waveband using »BAND«.

2Select the frequency band, for example »75 m«, using »SW SELECT«.

3Set the »SSB ON OFF« switch (on the right of the device) to »ON«.

The »TUNE/SSB « LED lights up red and then goes out.

4Slowly turn the »SSB FINE TUNING« dial on the right of the device until you achieve a clear reception.

If an SSB station is received, the »TUNE/SSB « LED lights up orange.

Notes:

For fine tuning, you can also press in the »TUNING FINE« dial. The range for SSB fine tuning is around ± 1.5 kHz.
