Sony ICF-SW07 ATT, Tips, Note, ATT Control, Controlling scan stops — using the ATT switch and the ATT Control

Tips

•The unit scans the frequencies in descending order when holding down –1¿, and in ascending order when holding down ÷1+.

•To change the scanning direction, hold down either –1¿or ÷1+ opposite to the current direction. This is convenient when, for example, you want to return to the previous reception after the unit has resumed scanning.

•When scanning for MW broadcasts at night when reception is intense, or when scanning under prevalent interference, the unit may stop scanning to null broadcasts frequently. Switch ATT to ON and adjust sensitivity with the ATT Control (see “Controlling scan stops”, below). Under normal conditions, set ATT to OFF.

Controlling scan stops — using the ATT switch and the ATT Control

Use the ATT (attenuator) switch and the ATT Control to control reception sensitivity when the unit stops scanning to null broadcasts frequently or when scanning under prevalent interference. Under normal conditions, use the radio with ATT set to OFF (i.e., with maximum sensitivity).

The ATT Control is activated when ATT is switched ON. Turn the ATT Control toward MAX to reduce sensitivity. The radio will skip weaker signals and stop at only stronger ones.

Note

If the ATT Control is turned too much toward MAX, the radio will not stop on any weaker signals at all. Switch ATT to OFF if you do not need to use the attenuator.
