usually gives best reception. The antenna can also be rotated and shortened until the best signal is received.

Always fully extend the telescopic antenna for the best Shortwave reception. SW reception can easily be improved with the addition of a very simple antenna. A portable SW antenna available from C. Crane works well for travel.

Also, any insulated small diameter wire can be wound around the whip antenna and extended out 20' to 60'. The wire can be mounted on the inside of an outside wall or out a window and along the top of a non- metal fence. Simple experimentation with the antenna wire location is the best way.

Most of the time, leave the DX-LOCAL switch set on DX, unless you are receiving an overly strong station. This can keep the strong station from overdriving the radio and also help in listening to a weaker station that is next to a strong station.

The buttons can be somewhat hard to press. Check the LCD display to confirm that you have pressed it hard enough to register.
