      If your Tecsun Radio has a weak signal or strong interference, try manually searching for the station. You can also adjust the antenna's length and direction, or move to a different location. For MW (AM) stations in the Americas, ensure the tuning step is set to 10 kHz by turning off the device and holding the [ 3 ] button.
