LABEL

You can use the memo label under the receiver’s stand to record helpful infor- mation, such as the memory location numbers of your favorite stations.

SETTING THE MW (AM) TUNING INCREMENT

In the United States, the Federal Com- munications Commission (FCC) as- signs frequencies for stations in the MW band in 10-kHz increments. (In the United States, we commonly call the MW band the AM band.) In Europe and some other parts of the world, MW fre- quencies are assigned in 9-kHz incre- ments.

MW-STEPon the right side of the re- ceiver is preset to 10k for use in the United States, Canada, and many South American countries. Depending on the country you are in, you might have to change the frequency step.

If you are in a country where the AM frequency increments are 9 kHz, set MW-STEP to 9k.
