BFO Switch and BFO Dial
Some SW and LW stations transmit in
Morse Code using a form of transmis-
sion called continuous wave (CW).
Some SW stations use a special type
of voice transmission called single
sideband (SSB).
To tune to a CW or SSB station, select
the band and frequency and adjust the
antenna. In addition, set the
BFO
switch to
ON
. Then, beginning at its
midpoint, slowly adjust the
BFO
dial
until the reception becomes clear.
For the FM and MW bands and for SW
stations that do not transmit in SSB or
CW, set the
BFO
switch to
OFF
. The
BFO
dial has no effect when the
BFO
switch is set to
OFF
.
Tone
In all bands, adjust
TONE
for the best
sound.
