Receiving AM stations
Normally, the AM radio receives sufficiently strong AM stations using a wide bandwidth filter.
If you experience difficulty tuning to a weak AM station, you can force the AM tuner to use a
narrow bandwidth filter to eliminate interference from other stations.
To force the tuner to use a narrow bandwidth filter, press and hold the center of the station
display until you hear a low-pitched beep. To switch back to the wide bandwidth filter, press
and hold until you hear a high-pitched beep. Retuning the station cancels any forcing.
