TUNING PREPROGRAMMED SHORTWAVE STATIONS

Notes:

When scanning, the receiver only searches for frequencies with strong signals. To search for sta- tions with weaker signals, use one of the manual tuning methods.

When scanning in a lower band, the receiver searches only within the selected band and stops at the upper and lower limits of the band.

Your receiver shows the short- wave bands you can receive on the bottom of the display.

TUNING PREPROGRAMMED SHORTWAVE STATIONS

Your receiver is preprogrammed with 212 of the most popular worldwide and U.S. shortwave stations. You can quickly tune these popular stations.

Notes:

You cannot change the preset shortwave stations stored in your receiver’s memory.

You can store shortwave frequen- cies into the receiver’s empty

memory locations. See “Storing SW Frequencies in Memory” on Page 28 for more information.

International commercial broad- cast programs (often in English) usually contain news, commentar- ies, music, and special features reflecting the culture of the broad- casting country. Reception for this range is best between 6:00 PM and midnight (your time).
