4. LISTENING TO THE RADIO
TUNING TO RADIO STATIONS
The ATS-909X2 is capable of tuning to radio stations on
the SW, MW, LW, FM and AIR bands. The radio features
an Automatic Tuning System (ATS) that can be used to
automatically store preset stations when the SW, MW, LW
or FM band is selected. When the AIR band is selected,
only manual tuning and scan tuning can be used to search
for stations and preset stations must be stored manually.
NOTE
Listening to airband frequencies (118-137 MHz) without
a license is prohibited in some countries. Only use this
device to listen to airband frequencies when this is
allowed under local laws and regulations.
NOTE
For the best reception, please make sure the telescopic
antenna on the back of the radio (33) is fully extended
when listening to the FM, SW or AIR band. When
listening to the SW, MW or LW band, make sure the
included external AM antenna is connected to the AM
EXT. ANT jack (36) and that the antenna is placed as
high as possible and is not being obstructed.
USING THE AUTOMATIC TUNING SYSTEM
(ATS) – MW / LW / FM
The Automatic Tuning System can be used to
automatically scan for radio stations with a strong signal
on the MW, LW or FM band and store these stations as
preset stations. Since the MW and LW share the same
button, simply press this button (21) twice to switch
between the medium wave and the long wave.
Follow these steps to use the Automatic Tuning System
on the MW / LW / FM band:
1.
Turn on the radio using the Power button (10).
2.
Press and hold either the ATS / MW / LW (21) or ATS /
FM (22) button to activate the Automatic Tuning System
for the corresponding band.
3.
The radio will now search for all strong signals on the
selected waveband and store the stations it finds as
preset stations.
4.
When the scan is completed, the radio will play the first
preset on the first page (which is the station with the
best reception).
NOTE
When using the ATS feature on the MW / LW / FM band,
all existing presets that have not been locked on that
waveband will be cleared.
NOTE
When using the ATS feature on the MW / LW / FM band,
the radio will store preset stations based on signal
strength. If more stations are found than there are
presets available, the stations with the weakest signals
will not be stored.
USING THE AUTOMATIC TUNING SYSTEM
(ATS) – SW ONLY
The Automatic Tuning System can also be used on the
SW band. The process for using it is slightly different from
the process on the other bands.
Follow these steps to use the Automatic Tuning System
on the SW band:
1.
Turn on the radio using the Power button (10).
2.
Press and hold the ATS / METER / SW button (20).
The message "ATS START- " will be shown in the Text
display (U).
3.
Use the Rotary Tuning knob (16) to select the start
frequency from 1.7MHz to 29.9MHz.
4.
Press the Step button (17) or Enter button (30) to
confirm the start frequency.
The message "ATS END- " will be shown in the Text
display (U).
5.
Rotate the Rotary Tuning knob (16) to select the end
frequency from 2.7MHz to 29.9MHz. The end frequency
is always at least 1MHz higher than the selected start
frequency, as the selected ATS frequency range must
be larger than 1MHz.
6.
Press the Step button (17) or Enter button (30) to
confirm the end frequency.
7.
Rotate the Rotary Tuning knob (16) to select the
desired ATS preset page number.
By default, page 30 will be selected.
8.
Press the Step button (17) or Enter button (30) to
confirm the page number.
9.
When the scan is completed, the Text display (U) will
show the message "FINISHED", the selected preset
page will be renamed to "ATS-PRESET" and the first
preset on the selected page will automatically be
played.
NOTE
When using the ATS feature on the SW band, all existing
presets that have not been locked on the selected page
number will be cleared.
NOTE
When using the ATS feature on the SW band, the radio
will store preset stations based on signal strength. If
more stations are found than there are presets available
on a preset page, the stations with the weakest signal
will not be stored. If no stations are found during the
scan, the radio will tune to the start frequency of the set
ATS scan range.
NOTE
It is recommended to use a frequency range of
approximately 5MHz for ATS scans and repeat scanning
this range on different pages until no new presets are
found. This way, several preset pages can be populated
with presets and the entire SW band can be covered in
a quick manner.
