Electronic Radio
Station Tuning Selectors
To select a radio station, depress either the upward or
downward pointing arrow after
observing.. the radio
display panel, A quick depress and release will
Increase
(or decrease) the frequency one step while holding the
button in will rapidly advance the digits. Nota: AM radio
stations advance
In
10
KHz
steps
(530
...
540
...
550
...
etc.)
as
this
is
the mandatory spacing required
by
the
FCC
lor radio broadcast stations.
FM
radio stations advance
in
.2
MHz steps (103.5
...
103,7
...
103.9
..
'.
etc.) for the
same reason, Nole: For
simplfcity, some
FM
sta'tions will
advertise their call sign
as
an
even number (example:
WWDH
104
FM)
and you will find you cannol tune to
104,0
FM.
Only 103,9 or 104.1 can be selected. This
Is
not
a problem
of
the radio since no
FM
station can broadcast
on an even digit frequency.
If you listen for
th,e
"true"
stations' call frequency, you
wUJ.flnd
It will
be,
either 1 03,9
or 1 04,1. They have :'rounded Itout"
to
104 for advertising
purposes only. This was not a problem
In
the past when
radios
only
had a radio dlat with a moving pOlnter,AII you
h<ld
to
do was move the pointer near "104" on the dlat and
rock It back and forth
to
"find"
the station. 'Today's
electronic tuners are
far
more precise and willloC<lte only
the exact true frequency. Fortunately, most radio stations
realize the confusion they are causing and have begun
broadcasting their
"true" frequency.
