Note:
"FMN" appears in place of "FM" when you select "ON" for the
F M
Menu No. 29 (FM NARROW) {page 39}.
F M W
Select "WFM" when you receive the audio signal of the
broadcasting stations, such as FM or TV stations.

If the Fine Tuning function is ON {page 35}, you cannot select FM
mode (FM/ NFM/ WFM). To select FM mode, turn the Fine
Tuning function OFF.

BAR ANTENNA

F M W
F M
Although the supplied wide-band helical antenna is
used for receiving B-band frequencies, due to the
size and length limitation, it may not be suitable for
F M
low HF band (below 10.1 MHz) reception. The
transceiver features a built-in bar antenna for the
reception frequency below 10.1 MHz. The
F M W
transceiver automatically switches to the bar antenna
when you select a frequency below 10.1 MHz for the
F M
B-band. However, you can connect an external
antenna to the antenna connector instead.
To disable the built-in bar antenna below 10.1 MHz:
1 Press [MNU].
2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
Menu No. 26 (BAR ANT).
3 Press [ ] or [MNU].
4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
"DISABLED".
5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting.
Note: The bar antenna is embedded in the base of the transceiver,
horizontally. The antenna has the same characteristics as a dipole
antenna. If the target station's signal is weak, rotate the transceiver
to find the best receiving position.
