SPECIALTUNING TECHNIQUES AND CONTROLS
AMNARROW/WIDE
SELECTIVITY SWITCH
Some stations transmit their signal so that
very little space exists between their
airspace and the station next to them on the
band. If, while tuning, you encounter
interference, caused by the signal from an
adjacent station, press the button for the
band you are listening to and select the
NARROW position. The interference is
reduced or muted.
For full reception, leave the switch in the
WIDE position.
If you plan t o l i s t e n t o Morse code, referred
to as CW (continuous wave), set the BFO
switch t o ON position. If you encounter
too much noise a s you tune, set the AM
NARROW/WIDE switch t o NARROW
position.
