BROADCAST BAND TUNING STEP SIZE
In the AM broadcast band, the E1 receiver increments
the frequency in 10 kHz steps when pressing the ‘<
SELECT >’ keys. The 10 kHz step size is practical for
tuning the U.S. and Canadian broadcast bands.
However, the step size can be changed to 9 kHz to
permit practical tuning of European broadcast stations.
The tuning step size is held in nonvolatile memory and
thus is not lost during power failure or battery changing.
To select the alternate step size:
Press the ‘MENU’ softkey to activate the MAIN MENU.
Then press‘1' on the‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad.This
will take you to the RADIO SETTINGS menu. On that
menu, item number 4 reads as follows:
“4 MW TUNING STEPS 9 / 10 kHz”
Pressing ‘4' on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad will tog-
gle the reverse video curser between 9 kHz and 10
kHz. Leave the curser on the desired MW band step
size. If the step size was 10 kHz prior to performing
the above procedure, then the 9 kHz step size for the
broadcast band is now programmed.To change back
to 10 kHz, repeat the same procedure.To exit the
RADIO SETTINGS menu, press ‘9' (EXIT) on
the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad.
