Station tuning with the numeric buttons
(Direct frequency entry)
For this, the frequency of the station you wish to tune to must
be known. You can find these frequencies in station tables or
radio guides.
You can enter the frequency in MHz or kHz, or as meter band
on SW.
Confirm the entries with the
FREQU./METER
button.
On FM: MHz indication
On AM: kHz indication
Examples:

It is absolutely necessary to enter the decimal point, even if no
further figures follow. The decimal point is the indication that
the entry is made in MHz. Without decimal point, the entry is
interpreted as kHz entry.
ENTERING A METER BAND
Entering a meter band on SW
Entered numbers below 100 with subsequent confirmation by
the
FREQU./METER
button are interpreted as wavelength in
meter for SW.
If the entry is valid, a frequency next to the band centre will be
tuned to in the case of radio bands, and the beginning of the
respective SW band in the case of amateur bands.
See tabel on the right of this page.
It is possible to enter the following meter bands:
10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 30, 31, 40, 41, 49,
60, 75, 80, 90.

Indication of the current band on SW
In the case of direct frequency entry or SW frequency scanning
(within a m-band):
The selected band is permanently indicated.
In the case of direct frequency entry or manual tuning:
If the frequency tuned to lies within one of the above indicated
bands, this band will permanently be indicated in the display.
If the entry made is invalid, the indication '
Error
' appears
for approx. 5 seconds in the display.
