Tuning to Stations

2. Frequency Tuning in the AM bands

Select one of the AM bands.

-You will hear the station last tuned to in the respective AM band.

MW and LW

Tune to the desired station by brief pressures on one of the buttons TUNE or TUNE (19). Each pressure on one of the buttons changes the tuning frequency by 1 kHz.

Each longer pressure on one of the buttons TUNE /increases or decreases the frequency tuned to by 9kHz (on MW, this can be changed to 9/10kHz via the menu).

If a frequency lying outside of the frequency raster has been tuned to before pressing one of the TUNE /buttons, the unit automatically tunes to the next raster frequency in the respective direction.

A very long pressure on one of the TUNE /buttons starts the frequency scan (station search) in the desired direction. Each frequency then will be heard for approx. 1

seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function.

SW

A longer pressure on one of the TUNE /buttons will step 5 kHz down or up within the selected m-band. In the amateur bands, the tuning mode is 1 kHz.

If the current frequency lies beyond the limits of a meter band, the unit automatically tunes to the limit (cut-off) frequency of the next adjacent m-band. When the end of a band is reached, the unit jumps to the beginning of the same band.

A very long pressure on one of the TUNE /buttons will start an automatic frequency scan in 5/1 kHz steps up or down within the selected meter band. Each raster frequency then will be heard for approx. 1 seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function.

Long pressure on the AM button: Switching to the lower limit (cut-off) frequency of the following m-band.

 

The display (4) indicates 0 for tuning memory and you hear, the

 

station.
