Using FM
Changing stations
To change stations you can use manual tuning or seek tuning, turn the Tune knob to use
manual tuning and step through the frequency range in 0.05 MHz steps, or turn and release
the ReVu button to use seek tuning and jump to the next station with strong signal.
The display changes to show the RDS station name if available.
Changing the information displayed
1.
Station frequency and scale indicating its position within the FM frequency band.

Large clock display showing time obtained from the FM (RDS only) or DAB signal plus
horizontally scrolling RadioText if available.
3.

Setting and selecting presets
Store up to 24 FM radio stations in a list for easy access. Use the same method as for DAB
stations to set and select preset FM stations, see page 7.
Changing FM stereo mode
Menu > Audio > FM stereo
Auto
Uses stereo signal by default where available.
Mono Uses mono signal only. This may provide clearer audio for stereo stations with poor
reception.
Using an SD memory card
You can use an SD card for recording* and playing back DAB digital radio or playing MP2/MP3
files recorded elsewhere. As a rough guide – a 2GB card will give you around 30 hours of DAB
recording time from a 128 kbps broadcast data rate.
Note
EVOKE-3 records files to SD cards in MP2 format. You may need to use a computer to
convert these files to a different format if you wish to use them in another SD card device.
Inserting and removing a card
To insert an SD memory card, push the card label side up into the slot on
the front panel with the gold pins towards the rear of the unit until it clicks.
To remove a card push the card in and it will pop out so you can remove it.
Note
It is not recommended that you remove a card when the SD light is lit.
Recording DAB radio
You can record DAB radio* to SD card.
1.
Press the Record button to start recording. You see the record icon (
) flashing.
2.
Press the Record button again to stop recording. You see the time, date and filename
that the recording has been saved under. The filename is made up of the month, date
and time. e.g. 10141020.mp2 means October the 14th, starting at 10:20 am. The
recording also stores the station and multiplex. DAB recordings are saved in a ‘TRACKS’
folder on your SD card so they can be found easily.
Note
You can also set up a DAB recording in advance, or for a particular programme using the
EPG, see page 8, or a timed event as described on page 13.
