AMNARROW/WIDE SELECTIVITY SWITCH
Some stations transmit their signal so that very little space exists between their airspace and the station next to them on the band. If, while tuning, you encounter interference, caused by the signal from an adjacent station, press the button for the band you are listening to and select the NARROW position. The interference is reduced or muted.
For full reception, leave the switch in the WIDE position.
