ANTENNA DX/LOCAL SWITCH
If the station you're listening to is so strong that it
sounds distorted, turn this switch to the LOCAL position.
Otherwise, leave it on DX, which stands for maximum
distance.
TUNING IN SW (shortwave) STATIONS
Turn on radio.
Place the upper BANDWIDTH switch in the W or N
position. Place the lower switch into SW1, SW2 or SW3.
Initially set the SW RF Gain dial to the max position for
the highest sensitivity. This will aid in picking up even
the weakest of signals. However, if the signal of desired
station is strong, the maximum gain setting will cause
signal to be overloaded and distorted, in this case rotate
RF Gain knob counterclockwise to reduce the gain until the
distortion is eliminated.
The SW RF gain can be adjusted to increase or decrease
sensitivity as necessary to minimize interference.
SW appears in frequency range of 1711 to 29999 KHz.
Tune in the station with the TUNING knob or by pressing
the UP/DOWN button or by pressing and holding the UP/
DOWN button for one second to engage auto tuning.
TUNING TO SW FREQUENCY RANGES (BANDS)
Tune to these frequency ranges for best results. The radio
can also tune between these ranges.
