Tuning to Stations 

2. Frequency Tuning in the AM bands 

 

Select one of the AM bands. 

- You will hear the station last tuned to in the respective AM 

band. 

MW and LW 

 

Tune to the desired station by brief pressures on one of the 

buttons TUNE 

 or TUNE 

 (19). Each pressure on one of 

the buttons changes the tuning frequency by 1 kHz. 

 

Each longer pressure on one of the buttons TUNE  /

△ ▽

 

increases or decreases the frequency tuned to by 9kHz (on 
MW, this can be changed to 9/10kHz via the menu). 

 

If a frequency lying outside of the frequency raster has 
been tuned to before pressing one of the TUNE  /

△ ▽

  

buttons, the unit automatically tunes to the next raster 
frequency in the respective direction. 

 

A very long pressure on one of the TUNE  /

△ ▽

  buttons 

starts the frequency scan (station search) in the desired 
direction. Each frequency then will be heard for approx. 1 
seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function. 

SW 

 

A longer pressure on one of the TUNE  /

△ ▽

  buttons will 

step 5 kHz down or up within the selected m-band. In the 
amateur bands, the tuning mode is 1 kHz. 

If the current frequency lies beyond the limits of a meter 
band, the unit automatically tunes to the limit (cut-off) 
frequency of the next adjacent m-band. When the end of 
a band is reached, the unit jumps to the beginning of the 
same band. 
A very long pressure on one of the TUNE  /

△ ▽

  buttons will 

start an automatic frequency scan in 5/1 kHz steps up or 
down within the selected meter band. Each raster 
frequency then will be heard for approx. 1 seconds. 
Pressing a random button will abort this function. 

 

Long pressure on the AM button: Switching to the lower 
limit (cut-off) frequency of the following m-band. 

 

The display (4) indicates 0 for tuning memory and you hear, the 
station.

(Direct frequency entry) 
For this, you must know the frequency of the station you 
wish to tune to. You can find these frequencies in station tables or 
radio guides. You can enter the desired frequency in 
MHz or kHz, or as m-band in the case of SW stations. 
•  Confirm each entry wit the buttons 

FM/RDS-AF for FM or 
AM (17) for LW, MW and SW. 
On FM: MHz indication 
On AM: kHz indication
