for FM and 9 kHz steps for AM.

Tuning in a weak frequency (only for FM stations)
When you tune in a stereo FM station, the FM STEREO indicator
lights up if the signal is sufficiently strong.

•Manual tuning
• Presetting radio stations then selecting the preset channels
If the signal is weak, you may not be able to tune to the station. In
this case, press FM MODE. The FM STEREO indicator and
AUTO indicator goes off.
Then select the station to which you want to listen.
(At this time, the station will be in mono and interstation noise will
be heard.)
