Showing the " old" setting first allows
for reconsideration of the decision to
store. If it is desirable to leave the "old"
frequency in memory rather than ex­

release the button. The " old" frequen­
cy will remain in memory.
Any AM station can be stored similarly
on any button marked H jJ through PTT
Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol
lights up if a stereo program is re­
ceived.
The radio is equipped with an autom a­
tic stereo/mono switch that electro­
nically switches to mono for clear re­

special circuit provides for a smooth
change-over rather than a hard sudden
switching, thereby reducing noise and
interference.
The stereo indicator will remain it even
if the receiver has changed to the
mono mode and will turn off at an an­
tenna signal considered insufficient to
provide acceptable reception quality.
