3.3 Radio
Reception
The passive AM/FM antenna, part number 510-730-0001 (included) is optimized for FM radio perform-
ance. Therefore, when used for AM reception, the operator may only receive the most powerful 3 to 5 AM
stations. In contrast to an ADF, where audio fidelity is not important, the PXE7300 requires higher signal
levels to ensure fidelity.
For optimum performance, some installers may desire an external AM/FM antenna. PS Engineering rec-
ommends a Comant CI-222-L.
Another alternative is to connect the PXE7300 antenna input to an unused VOR port of the VHF NAV
antenna splitter. Do NOT add another splitter.

Radio Preset Function
The PXE7300 can save up to nine AM and nine FM frequencies for future recall. Select the desired radio
frequency.
To set press the “R/S” button (4). The next available slot will be displayed as “S#.” (# being the available
memory location). Within five seconds, select the desired frequency using the DATA knob (if not already
displayed). Press the R/S (4) again to save the selection. The display will flash, indicating a successful
save.
You can select the “S” slot by pressing the Stop (up) and play (down) buttons.
To access the channel, press the DATA knob (5) the radio mode, and select the preset with the DATA
knob or scan up (2) and down (3) buttons.
