•Around sunset and sunrise, both the day and night bands may be good, sometimes exceptionally good. Listening at these times can often be quite rewarding.

SELECTING A SHORTWAVE METER BAND

What is a band? It’s a frequency range. In this case, a frequency range in which international radio stations will be found.

All 14 of the international broadcast bands can be accessed. The bands are numbered 120, 90, 75, 60, 49, 31, 25, 22, 19, 16, 15, 13 and 11 meters and are commonly called ‘Meter Bands’. See the sec- tion below titled SHORTWAVE BAND CHART OF AUTO-SCANNING RANGES, which shows the full frequency range of each band used by the radio’s auto-scan system.

There are two ways to access a band. Each method places the tuner at the beginning of the accessed band’s frequency range.

1.Each successive quick, short press of the button labeled SW METER BAND (12) places the radio at the beginning of a band.

While pressing the button, the band number shows in the upper right corner of the display (40) and disappears a few seconds after it is released, causing the clock to reappear in the corner. Start tuning only after the clock reappears. If you don’t wait, then method 2, below will automatically be used.

2.Perform one quick, short press of the button labeled SW METER BAND, immediately followed by quick, short presses of either the Up/Hour or Down/Min. tuning buttons. The band number appears in the upper right corner of the display. Once the band of choice is selected, start tuning after the clock reappears in the upper
