Radio

Built-In AFC

The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC)
works only on FM. It helps to reduce drift on FM
reception and to keep the radio locked in on the
FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that
often the station you desire can be heard on two
or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune
carefully to the loudest and clearest point.

Antennas

AM Antenna -

A built-in ferrite rod antenna

eliminates the need for an outside antenna for
AM reception.

FM Antenna -

The power cord acts as your FM

antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to
strong stations and eliminates the need for an
external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be
sure the power cord is stretched out to its full
length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together.
Changing position of the power cord may
improve reception.

Using the Weather Band

Weather information is given continuously from
U.S. Government Weather Stations on frequencies
from 162.4MHz to 162.55MHz.

Important:

The listening range of NOAA
weather stations varies from 10 miles
up to a maximum of 40 miles from

the station’s transmitter. In some areas of the
United States, weather transmissions cannot be
monitored. The effective range of this radio will
have side variations due to the height of the
local transmitting antenna, atmospheric
conditions, and the terrain between the
transmitter and your radio’s location.

Radio

The Weather transmission, broadcast 24 hours a
day, are taped messages that are repeated every
4 to 6 minutes and revised and updated as
needed to match the changing weather
conditions. For additional information, check
your location office of the National Weather
Service (Department of Commerce).
