second interval, entering the meter designator for the
desired meter band will cause the receiver to go to the
low end of the frequency range for the desired meter
band. The frequency ranges for the defined meter
shortwave bands are as shown in the
'Shortwave Band
Designators'
table which follows.

press the CLR LOCK key for three seconds.
17. Signal Strength
Meter -
This meter indicates the
relative received signal level in S-units, and dB above S9.
Each S-unit between S1 and S9 equals an approximate 5
dB change in received signal strength. Each dB number
above S9 represents a 10 dB increase in received signal
strength.
18. SET Keys
CLOCK -
Pressing this button will display the current time of
the current clock. After three seconds, the display will revert
to the current frequency. Pressing and releasing this button
