Tuning To Stations - Grundig YB500 Owner's Manual

2. Frequency Tuning in the AM bands
•
Select one of the AM bands.
- You will hear the station last tuned to in the respective A M
band.
M W and LW
•
Tune to the desired station by brief pressures on one of the
buttons TUNE △ or TUNE ▽ (19). Each pressure on one of
the buttons changes the tuning frequency by 1 kHz.
•
Each longer pressure on one of the buttons TUNE
increases or decreases the frequency tuned to by 9kHz (on
MW, this can be changed to 9/10kHz via the menu).
•
If a frequency lying outside of the frequency raster has
been tuned to before pressing one of the TUNE
buttons, the unit automatically tunes to the next raster
frequency in the respective direction.
•
A very long pressure on one of the TUNE
starts the frequency scan (station search) in the desired
direction. Each frequency then will be heard for approx. 1
seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function.
SW
•
A longer pressure on one of the TUNE
step 5 kHz down or up within the selected m-band. In the
amateur bands, the tuning mode is 1 kHz.
If the current frequency lies beyond the limits of a meter
band, the unit automatically tunes to the limit (cut-off)
frequency of the next adjacent m-band. When the end of
a band is reached, the unit jumps to the beginning of the
same band.
A very long pressure on one of the TUNE
start an automatic frequency scan in 5/1 kHz steps up or
down within the selected meter band. Each raster
frequency then will be heard for approx. 1 seconds.
Pressing a random button will abort this function.
• Long pressure on the AM button: Switching to the lower
limit (cut-off) frequency of the following m-band.
Tuning to Stations with the Numeric Buttons
(Direct frequency entry)
For this, you must know the frequency of the station you
wish to tune to. You can find these frequencies in station tables or
radio guides. You can enter the desired frequency in
M H z o r kHz, or as m-band in the case of SW stations.
• Confirm each entry wit the buttons
FM/RDS-AF for FM or
AM (17) for LW, MW and SW.
