SETTING UP THE RADIO FOR AM BAND TUNING

HOW TO OVERWRITE THE CONTENTS OF A MEMORY

Store a new frequency into it, using the procedure outlined above. Memories are never empty, or blank, therefore it is best to store a known station into each memory position.

HOW TO ACCESS WHAT YOU HAVE STORED INTO MEMORY
