memorize the frequency for recall later. See Saving station
presets below for more on how to do this.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient
to have the unit store the frequency for easy recall whenever
you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning). This saves
the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations.
