SETTING UP AM AND FM

OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA

You can skip this section if you are in North America and just purchased the YB 550PE. It is already set-up in the factory for use in North America. If you travel to other world regions, make the changes below as necessary. Outside of North America, AM stations (MW in the YB 550PE’s display) are spaced at 9 KHz. The FM frequency range may be like that used in Japan, 76-108 MHz. To make these changes please see the instructions titled SYSTEM SET CODE TABLE, on pages 41-42.

FOUR WAYS TO TUNE IN STATIONS

There are four ways to tune in stations, described in detail below:

1. REGULAR TUNING (MANUAL TUNING)

Quick, short presses of the +/- buttons enables tuning up or

down frequency.

2. AUTOSCAN TUNING

Pressing the + or – buttons for just over 1 second enables automatic scan-tuning. The radio will then automatically stop on the next station encountered. Use the + button to autoscan upward in frequency and the – button to autoscan downward in frequency.

3. DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

When the exact desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the numeric keypad (10A) and the ‘Enter’ button. Make sure that the correct band,AM, FM or SW is selected. To enter a frequency, do the following in a rapid sequence:

a.Press/release the ‘Enter’ (6) button.

b.Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.

4. FINE TUNING

The FINE TUNING control (16) is located on the right side of the radio. It tunes in 1 Kilohertz steps in AM and Shortwave and .05 Megahertz steps in FM. Use it to ‘fine-tune’ stations to your liking, or use it as you would a tuning knob.
