MEMORY FUNCTIONS

MEMORY FUNCTIONS

Besides tuning to the preprogrammed shortwave stations (see “Tuning Pre- programmed Shortwave Stations” on Page 20), you can store and then quickly tune up to 94 frequencies in your receiver’s memory locations. The memory locations are grouped into pages (nine memory locations per page).

You can store up to 18 FM frequen- cies (2 pages), 18 MW frequencies (2 pages), and 9 LW frequencies (1 page) into your receiver’s FM/MW/LW memory locations. You can store fre- quencies automatically (see “Automat- ic Storage”) or manually (see “Manual Storage”).

Additionally, you can store frequencies into any empty memory location in the receiver’s SW memory pages (see “Storing SW Frequencies in Memory” on Page 28). There are 40 empty lo- cations scattered throughout the pag- es, and all 9 locations in Page 29 are blank. See “DX-398 Shortwave Pages Chart” on Page 21.

stations (from strongest to weakest) in the FM, LW, and MW memory loca- tions until all the memory locations are occupied. This feature helps you find local stations in another city by simply pressing a memory location button.

Note: You cannot use this feature to store SW stations.

To use ATS, hold down ATS/FM, ATS/ LW, or ATS/MW for about 3 seconds. The receiver beeps and the selected band and ATS flash. Then the receiv- er automatically scans and stores the strongest frequency into the first avail- able memory location. It continues to scan and store frequencies until it fills the nine memory locations in that page.

The first stored station appears. Once the receiver has stored nine stations in Page 1, press PAGE to select the next page. Then hold down ATS/FM or ATS/MW again to store the other avail- able frequencies. The receiver beeps when it finishes automatically tuning stations.

Automatic Storage

You can set your receiver’s automatic tuning system (ATS) so it automatically stores all available FM, LW, and MW

Manual Storage

1.Press ATS/FM, ATS/MW, or ATS/LW to select the band where you want to store a frequency.

2.Tune to the frequency you want to store.
