Basic Operation
RECEIVING SHORT-WAVE BROADCAST STATIONS
A special bank of prominent Short-wave Broadcast stations has been pre-programmed at
the factory, for quick tuning. Each station selection will have been programmed with four
of its most-often used frequencies, representing both night-time frequencies (generally
below 10 MHz) and day-time frequencies (generally above 10 MHz).
Of course, you are not “required” to listen just to these stations; many other stations will be
found in the frequencies adjacent to those stored in the special Short-wave Broadcast
Memory Bank. However, the pre-programmed stations will provide a “quick start” to your
Short-wave listening enjoyment!
To utilize the pre-programmed Short-wave Broadcast Memory Bank:
1. Press the

keys to select the desired Broadcast Station.

programmed choices. At different times of the day, different frequencies will be opti-
mum for each station.
