How to Select a Preset Frequency under a
single Station Name
Another important characteristic of the Preset Station Tuning
is that you can save up to 10 kinds of “Frequencies" under
one Station Name Each “Frequency" can hold the following
types of data:
• band and frequency of the broadcast
• AM detection mode
• Program Time (broadcasting time or any desired time).
Note
The Timer Page can hold only one Frequency.
Memorizing Program Time for each Frequency enables the
following:
• The “ON AIR” indication (page 16) tells you whether it is the
broadcasting time for the station or the program
• The unit automatically selects the most appropriate station
to tune in among the 10 Frequencies.
Saving two or more Frequencies with different Program Times
under one Station Name is useful especially for SW reception.
The receiving condition of SW broadcast varies depending on
the season, time, and frequency. The same programs are
broadcasted at the same time using different frequencies so
that the listeners can choose the frequency with the best
receiving condition. The “best” frequency varies depending on
the area and the time.
For example. NSB has two frequencies; 3925 kHz, and 6055
kHz. Let s suppose that in a certain area, 3925 kHz is
received clearly in the morning, but in the afternoon, 6055 kHz
is received better. In this case, you can memorize two
“Frequencies" with different Program Times and frequencies
in one “Station Name."
You can program each Frequency with starting time and
ending time. However, you cannot turn the power of the radio
on and off by programming this time duration unless that
Station is on the TIMER PAGE and you set the timer (page
27).
Note Since you can label the Station Name with any name, you can save 10 different
When this unit is shipped trom the factory, the Timer Page is not preset with stations of the same category and name them "MUSIC’, for example This way.
