20.1 Built-in magnetic antenna
The RF919 uses a built-in magnetic antenna to
receive medium wave MW and long wave LW. This magnetic
antenna has a certain direction when receiving signals. So,
when listening to medium wave & long wave, rotate the body
direction of the radio appropriately, to find the best position to
receive the signal.
20.2 Receiving operating mode
When in radio receive mode, short press [DISPLAY] to turn the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) on the secondary screen
on or off.
