MEMORY FUNCTIONS
Besides tuning to the preprogrammed
shortwave stations (see “Tuning Pre-
programmed Shortwave Stations” on
Page 20), you can store and then
quickly tune up to 94 frequencies in
your receiver’s
memory locations
. The
memory locations are grouped into
pages
(nine memory locations per
page).
You can store up to 18 FM frequen-
cies (2 pages), 18 MW frequencies (2
pages), and 9 LW frequencies (1
page) into your receiver’s FM/MW/LW
memory locations. You can store fre-
quencies automatically (see “Automat-
ic Storage”) or manually (see “Manual
Storage”).
Additionally, you can store frequencies
into any empty memory location in the
receiver’s SW memory pages (see
“Storing SW Frequencies in Memory”
on Page 28). There are 40 empty lo-
cations scattered throughout the pag-
es, and all 9 locations in Page 29 are
blank. See “DX-398 Shortwave Pages
Chart” on Page 21.

Automatic Storage
You can set your receiver’s automatic
tuning system (ATS) so it automatically
stores all available FM, LW, and MW
stations (from strongest to weakest) in
the FM, LW, and MW memory loca-
tions until all the memory locations are
occupied. This feature helps you find
local stations in another city by simply
pressing a memory location button.
Note
: You cannot use this feature to
store SW stations.
To use ATS, hold down
ATS/FM
,
ATS/
LW
, or
ATS/MW
for about 3 seconds.
The receiver beeps and the selected
band and
ATS
flash. Then the receiv-
er automatically scans and stores the
strongest frequency into the first avail-
able memory location. It continues to
scan and store frequencies until it fills
the nine memory locations in that
page.
The first stored station appears. Once
the receiver has stored nine stations
in Page 1, press
PAGE
to select the
next page. Then hold down
ATS/FM
or
ATS/MW
again to store the other avail-
able frequencies. The receiver beeps
when it finishes automatically tuning
stations.
Manual Storage
1. Press
ATS/FM
,
ATS/MW
, or
ATS/LW
to select the band where you want
to store a frequency.
2. Tune to the frequency you want to
store.
