key. Then proceed as follows:
(A.) Select an empty COUNTRY channel number using
the ‘TUNING’ knob, or the ‘< SELECT >’ keys.
(B.) Press the ‘TUNE’ softkey. This will return you to the
VFO mode. Select the mode for the frequency
range that contains the frequency you wish to
store. For example, ‘FM’,‘MW / LW’, or ‘SW
BAND’.
(C.) Use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ keys
to tune in the desired frequency, and use the
Function softkeys (except for FM mode) to set the
parameters as desired.
(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key.This will take you back to
COUNTRY mode with the curser still on the chan-

RECALLING A COUNTRY CHANNEL
To select a specific COUNTRY channel,press the
‘COUNTRY’ softkey to enter COUNTRY mode. This will
cause the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey label to appear in
reverse video. Then use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘<
SELECT >’ key to scroll through the COUNTRY numbers.
Note that pressing the‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key
will cause‘TUNING’ knob to advance through the
channels ten at a time instead of one at a time. For
this to occur, you must start moving the ‘TUNING’
knob within 3 seconds of pressing the ‘FAST / TUNING
LOCK’ key. Pressing the‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key will
NOT, however cause the ‘< SELECT >’ key tuning rate
to change. It will continue to scroll through COUNTRY
channels ten channel numbers at a time.
If you know the number of the COUNTRY channel you
want to receive, you can go to it directly by entering
the number on the ‘Direct- Key-Input’ keypad. If less than
a four digit number is entered, there may be a slight delay
between the time you enter the number and the time the
channel change actually takes place. However, if you enter
a four digit number, the channel change will occur imme-
diately upon entry of the fourth number.

Example:To enter COUNTRY channel 765, press ‘0',
‘7', ‘6',‘5'.
If you want to temporarily change a parameter of a
received COUNTRY channel, or simply want to “tune
around” the stored frequency, there are two ways to
do this.
The first method is simply press any of the Function
softkeys below the display which are labeled in reverse
video, or the‘FM’, ‘SW BAND’, or ‘MW/LW’ softkeys as
appropriate. This will return you to the VFO mode, will
cause the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey to be displayed in normal
video, and will allow you to tune the frequency,
change parameters, or change bands.To return to
scrolling through COUNTRY channels with the ‘TUN-
ING’ knob, simply press the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey again.
The other method is to press the TUNE’ softkey.This
will return the receiver to the VFO mode and will trans-
fer the COUNTRY channel frequency and all associated
parameters to the VFO for further tuning.
DELETING A COUNTRY CHANNEL
Select the COUNTRY channel to be deleted as
described in “RECALLING A COUNTRY CHANNEL”.
Press and hold the ‘DELETE’ key for 3 seconds.A high
pitched beep will be heard to indicate that the con-
tents stored in the selected memory channel number
have been deleted, and you will see the frequency dis-
appear from the selected MEMORY channel number.
CHANGING OR ADDING COUNTRY NAMES
You can add to or modify the country names.To do so
proceed as follows:
• Press the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey and use the ‘TUNING
’knob or ‘< SELECT >’ keys to select the named ten
channel block the name of which you wish to
change or name. Note that each ten channel block
begins with on 1 and ends on 10. For example, 501
- 510, 1691 - 1700. The reverse video curser can be
on any number within the selected block of ten.
• Press and hold the‘COUNTRY’ softkey for 3
seconds. “EDIT NAME” will appear on the display,
and a flashing curser( “ _ “) will appear.
• Within 3 seconds, use the ‘TUNING’ knob to select
the first letter of the new name, and press the right
‘< SELECT >’ key to advance the curser to the
position of the next letter or number to be added.
• Proceed in this manner until the full name of the
country has been entered.
• When all of the desired alphanumerics have been
added, press the ‘STORE’ key. You will hear a con
firming beep, and “COUNTRY STORED” will appear
briefly on the display.
COUNTRY FUNCTIONS continued
COUNTRY channels can be scanned using the SEEK
function which can stop on any stored channel that
has a predetermined signal level. With COUNTRY
channels programmed with a “T” tag, you can use the
T.SCAN function to selectively monitor desired
COUNTRY frequencies.The following operating
parameters may be stored in any COUNTRY channel:
(1) Frequency, (2) Mode, (3) Bandwidth, (4)
AGC setting, (5) PBT setting, (6) Synchronous
Detector setting.
THE COUNTRY DISPLAY
Please refer to the numbered figure above.
(1) Channel Frequency - This is the frequency that is
stored in the selected COUNTRY channel.
(2) COUNTRY - This indicator identifies the screen as
a COUNTRY display as opposed to a MEMORY
display.
(3) T - This indicator marks this channel as being one
selected for T.SCAN. T.SCAN searches through all
COUNTRY channels marked with the “T” and will
ignore all others.T.SCAN will stop on any channel
marked with a“T” which has a signal strength
greater than the SQUELCH setting. It will proceed
to the next marked channel either based on a 5
second time interval, or will stay on the channel it
stopped on until the ‘T.SCAN’ key is pressed
again.Which of these T.SCAN methods is used is
determined by the setting of item 2 in the RADIO
SETTINGS menu. The “T” tag is added to or
removed from the COUNTRY channel on which
the curser rests by pressing the ‘TAG’ key.
(4) Curser - This reverse video segment identifies the
selected COUNTRY channel. This Curser is moved
up or down through the ten displayed channels
one at a time using the ‘TUNING’ knob or a page
at a time (10 channels) using the ‘<SELECT>’
key. If the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key is pressed,
the ‘TUNING’ knob and ‘< SELECT >’ keys will
scroll through the channels ten at a time.This is
the way to scroll through all available countries in
minimum time.
(5) Channel Numbers - These numbers identify the
COUNTRY channels from 500 to 1700, ten at a
time. When the curser reaches the end of a group
of ten, the numbers displayed advance by ten. For
example if the curser was sitting on 600, and the
right hand ‘< SELECT >’ key was pressed, the
curser would jump to the top of the column with
numbers 601 thru 610 displayed.
(6) Function Key Labels - These labels, with their asso-
ciated parameters, disappear if you scroll through
a channel that is programmed on an FM band
frequency.
(7) COUNTRY - The ‘COUNTRY’ softkey label appears
as “COUNTRY” when the softkey is pressed, indi-
cating that mode has been selected.
(8) Country Identifier - This label identifies the coun-
try to which the ten displayed channel numbers
are assigned.
(9) Meter Band Identifier - Identifies the meter band
of the selected SW frequency. If the channel is an
FM broadcast band frequency, “STEREO” or
“MONO” appears in this location.
(10) Band Identifier - Indicates whether the memory
channel is in the LW, MW, SW, or FM bands.
(11) MHz / kHz - Identifies whether the frequency is
displayed in megahertz or kilohertz.
STORING A COUNTRY CHANNEL
There are two ways to store a channel. The first starts
from VFO mode, and the other starts from COUNTRY
mode. To store a channel from VFO mode proceed as
follows:
(A.) First press the ‘VFO’ softkey and select the mode
and frequency that you wish to store, as you nor-
mally would do in VFO mode. Make sure you
have set all the function parameters to your
preference.
(B.) Press the ‘STORE’ key and then press the ‘COUN-
TRY’ softkey.This will take you to the COUNTRY
screen similar to that shown on the previous
page.
(C.) Use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key
to select the desired blank MEMORY number.
(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key again within 5 seconds.
This will store the frequency and its associated
parameters in the selected channel number.You
will hear a confirming beep and will be returned
to the VFO mode.
To store a memory channel from COUNTRY mode, first
enter COUNTRY mode by pressing the ‘COUNTRY’
softkey.Then proceed as follows:
(A.) Select an empty COUNTRY channel number using
the ‘TUNING’ knob, or the ‘< SELECT >’ keys.
(B.) Press the ‘TUNE’ softkey. This will return you to
the VFO mode. Select the mode for the frequency
range that contains the frequency you wish to
store. For example, ‘FM’,‘MW / LW’, or ‘SW
BAND’.
(C.) Use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ keys
to tune in the desired frequency, and use the
Function softkeys (except for FM mode) to set the
parameters as desired.
(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key. This will take you back to
COUNTRY mode with the curser still on the chan-
nel number you selected previously. Press the
