DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
AUTO-SEARCH TUNING
AUTO-SEARCH TUNING continued
Turn on the G3. Stations are tuned with the Buttons, Tuning-
Knob, Direct Frequency Entry and Auto-Search. Quick, short, sequential
presses of the buttons enables tuning up or down frequency.
Alternately, the TUNING knob can be used. Continuous tuning in
shortwave can only be done with the tuning knob and via direct
frequency entry.
Turn on the G3. Use this method when the desired frequency of a radio
station is known. AM, LW, SW and Air Band frequencies are entered in
kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM frequencies are entered
in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignoring the decimal point. NOTE:
Aircraft frequencies are entered in Kilohertz (120100 KHz), but are
normally given in Magahertz (120.1 MHz).
1. Use the numeric buttons to enter the frequency.
2. Within 3 seconds, press the AM button if it’s an AM, LW or SW
frequency, or the FM button for FM and Air Band frequencies.
With the G3 on, auto-search tuning starts by pressing either the up
or down frequency button for about 2 seconds. The G3 has 3
selectable auto-search modes: STOP, ATS or DELAY-5. The factory
programmed default mode is STOP. These are described below. When
auto searching shortwave stations, place the bandwidth switch into
the WIDE position. Auto search is not recommended for SSB signals.
STOP: Auto-searching stops on the next encountered station.
DELAY-5: Auto-searching stops for 5 seconds on each next
encountered station, then moves on.
ATS: (Auto Tuning Storage): Auto-searching automatically stores the
strongest FM local stations into memories starting with page 99 and
counting downward until all are stored, e.g. 98, 97, 96, etc. Tune to
the FM band and perform auto-search. After the ATS scan, select your
memory with the buttons and the station with the F1-7 buttons.
If too many memories are lled with static, try the scan again with the
DX/LOCAL switch set in the LOCAL position (down).
To select an auto-search mode:
1. With the radio turned off, hold down the F6 button for about 2
seconds, then release. Note that the last chosen mode ashes
in the screen.
2. While the mode ashes, perform quick, short presses of the F6
button to select alternate modes.
3. Press PAGE/TIME button.
The G3 has 700 memories (also called presets), arranged in 100
pages, with each page holding 7 memories. Buttons F1-7 represent
memory locations.
Note that when storing into an already occupied memory position, its
contents will be replaced with your new entry.
1. Turn on the G3.
2. Tune to the desired station.
3. Press the PAGE/TIME button to place the G3 into PAGE/MEMO
mode (PAGE/MEMO is on the left side of the display).
4. Select the desired memory page with the buttons.
5. Store the frequency by pressing one of buttons F1-7 for about 2
seconds. Note that a ashing box appears around the selected
memory location.
6. When nished storing stations, press the PAGE/TIME button to
store your stations and exit MEMO mode.
