Continuous Wave (CW). Some SW stations use a special type of voice transmission called
Single Side Band (SSB).
To tune to a CW or SSB station, select the band and frequency and
adjust the antenna. Set the
FM/FM ST/SSB/AM switch to SSB . The
TUNE/SSB LED lights red. Turning from its midpoint, slowly adjust the
CLARIFY dial until reception becomes clear. You can also use the tuning
knob for best SSB reception.
When you find a station, the TUNE/SSB LED lights orange.
FM Mono/Stereo
To listen to FM stereo broadcasts, tune to the station, plug in your
headphones (not included), and set the
FM/FM ST/SSB/AM
switch to
FM ST (stereo). If the station signal is weak, some hiss may be audible.
To reduce the hiss, set the switch to FM (mono).
