For short wave (SW) broadcasts, frequencies available for
reception differ depending on the time and period even for the
same station. Presetting different frequencies for the same station
on a page will allow you to tune in to that station easily by using
the memory scan tuning (page 24).
(For frequencies of each station, see the supplied Wave
Handbook.)

Presetting and changing the stations

Frequencies may already be preset in the memory at the time of
purchase. In this case, erase or change the unnecessary stations.

Searching available stations
from presets

— Memory scan tuning

You can scan stations stored on a page.

Convenient way using memory scan tuning

When performing memory scan tuning, scanning will stop at the
available stations. By storing frequencies of a short wave (SW)
broadcast station that differ depending on the time and period
on a page, the available frequency can be received by scanning
that page.

page to scan.

3 Press SCAN.

The unit will scan all stations preset to the selected page in
ascending order and stop when there is reception. Press SCAN
again to select the next station. After the highest preset number has
been scanned, the unit will return to the smallest preset number
and scan again.

To stop memory scan during operation

Press SCAN while memory scan is in operation.

When there are no stations available

If no stations are received after scanning, the unit will return to
the preset number where the scan was started and two short
beeps will be heard.

When you press SCAN for a page with no presets

Two short beeps sound, “- — — -“ is displayed and the unit will
return to the previous state.

Tips

• Scanning works faster if you preset frequencies in descending or
ascending order in preset number orders.

• When scanning at night when reception is intense or when scanning
under prevalent interference, the unit may stop scanning to null
broadcasts frequently. In this case, set the ATT switch to ON, and
adjust the ATT control (see “To adjust the reception sensitivity for
scanning”, page 21). Under normal conditions, set the ATT switch to
OFF.

Note

Many international broadcasts for short wave have limited broadcast
hours. Due to this, the unit may not be able to tune in to the station
outside the broadcast hours, or the unit may tune in to another station
such as the local station of your area, etc.
