9 or 10 kHz on MW.
If a lower step value has been adjusted, the unit will automatically se-
lect the tuning steps indicated above. For 9 kHz/10 kHz switching on
MW, see chapter "Adjusting the tuning steps", page 16.
The automatic search will stop as soon as it has found a station with
sufficient field strength for good reception. It can then be restarted
with the ¢ AUTO TUNING button (brief or long pressure).
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 gui-
des. 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:
Desired frequency Entry order
99.00 MHz 99. / ¢ FREQU./METER button
99.00 MHz 99.0 / ¢ FREQU./METER button
99.00 MHz 99.00 / ¢ FREQU./METER button
99.10 MHz 99.1 / ¢ FREQU./METER button

99.10 MHz 99.100 / ¢ FREQU./METER button
7000 kHz 7000 / ¢ FREQU./METER button
It is absolutely necessary to enter the decimal point, even if no fur-
ther 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
k18
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 table on page 19.
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,
