Page 44: Memorizing Stations
Using the Tuner Memorizing Stations (front panel only) If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. The receiver can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes (A,B and C) of 10 presets each. -
Page 45: Naming Memorized Stations
Naming Memorized Stations (front panel only) You can input a name of up to four characters for each preset station in the receiver’s memory (see the previous page). This name can be anything you choose. For example, you could input "BBC1" for that station and when you listen to it the name, rather than the frequency number, will appear on your display. -
