DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY (9)
Use this method when the desired frequency of a radio station is
known.AM and SW frequencies are entered in kilohertz (KHz), e.g.
810 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM frequencies are entered in megahertz
(MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignoring the decimal point.
To enter a frequency:
1. Use the numeric buttons (9) to enter the frequency.
2.Within 3 seconds, press the AM ‘enter’ button (10) if it’s an AM or
SW frequency, or the FM ‘enter’ button (12) for FM frequencies.
Here’s an example for an AM station at 810 kHz (For FM, ignore the
decimal point and use the FM enter button (12)):
1. Press 8 1 0.
2.Within 3 seconds, press the AM enter button (10).
NOTE: Regardless of what type of station is currently tuned (AM,
FM or SW), direct frequency entry can be used to enter any type of
frequency.
