A STATION CAUSES SEVERE AUDIO DISTORTION, BUT SEEMS
TO BE VERY STRONG IN SIGNAL STRENGTH
This is probably a strong, local station, very close to your location. Be-
cause of its close proximity to you, its signal is too strong. To reduce
signal strengths, place the ANTENNA GAIN switch into the
M or L position. Also, try retuning the station with the FINE TUNING
control.
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT HAS A STICKY LIQUID OR
DRIED WHITE POWDER IN IT
This is the result of battery acid leakage. Battery acid leakage is not
covered by warranty. Do not throw away the leaked batteries and
immediately contact their manufacturer.
11 LISTENING TO SHORTWAVE STATIONS
Shortwave enables listening to stations from around the world. To
get you started, some basics are noted below. Also see the SHORT-
WAVE LISTENING GUIDE in this manual.
• Night shortwave reception is almost always better than daytime
shortwave.
• During daytime the most active shortwave bands are 13, 15, 16,
19, and 22 meters. 16 and 19 usually being the best. At night, the
most active bands are 25, 31, 41 and 49 meters, with 31 and 49
usually best.
