USING THE MEMO
LABEL
You can use the memo label under the
receiver’s stand to record helpful infor-
mation, such as the memory location
numbers of your favorite stations.
SETTING THE MW (AM)
TUNING INCREMENT
In the United States, the Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC) as-
signs frequencies for stations in the
MW band in 10-kHz increments. (In the
United States, we commonly call the
MW band the AM band.) In Europe and
some other parts of the world, MW fre-
quencies are assigned in 9-kHz incre-
ments.
MW-STEP
on the right side of the re-
ceiver is preset to
10k
for use in the
United States, Canada, and many
South American countries. Depending
on the country you are in, you might
have to change the frequency step.
If you are in a country where the AM
frequency increments are 9 kHz, set
MW-STEP
to
9k
