Radio operaon
Memory System
This radio has 500 memory locaons, 100 for each band, organized into 10 pages
with 10 memory locaons each. A memory locaon stores the staon frequency
along with the stereo seng for FM and the bandwidth for LW/MW/SW.
Select the desired band (MW, LW, FM, SW and AIR) rst. Then to save or retrieve a
staon in memory, rst establish the current memory page by pressing the PAGE
buon and then press the page number buon (0-9).
Once a page is selected, a frequency is stored to a memory locaon within the page
by long-pressing the posion number buon (0-9). To recall a saved staon, just
press the number buon (0-9) of the memory posion within the current page.
Auto Tune Storage (ATS)
This radio has the capability to scan the bands and automacally store staons into
memory. It loads them sequenally by page, and by posion within the page, over-
wring any previously stored staons. ATS is invoked by rst selecng the band and
then with a long press of the band buon, FM, LW/MW, SW or AIR. ATS stores rela-
vely stronger staons, and may skip some that are audible. Also, parcularly on
shortwave, the signal strength may fade in and out, causing the staon to be
skipped. For AIR trac, transmissions are oen short and may not be acve when
the radio scans a parcular frequency.
Also note that for shortwave, the radio only scans within the internaonal broad-
cast frequencies, not amateur radio or commercial bands. Refer to the SW topic.
Antennas
Antennas capture radio signals that are processed by the radio. This radio has 3
antenna opons:
• Internal ferrite bar antenna used for LW/MW
• A 25.5” telescopic whip antenna for SW/FM/AIR
• A 3.5mm jack to connect an external antenna of your choice for SW, .FM, AIR
Cauon: Ensure that an external antenna is clear from power lines.
