usually gives best reception. The antenna
can also be rotated and shortened until the
best signal is received.
Always fully extend the telescopic antenna
for the best Shortwave reception. SW
reception can easily be improved with the
addition of a very simple antenna. A
portable SW antenna available from C.
Crane works well for travel.
Also, any insulated small diameter wire can
be wound around the whip antenna and
extended out 20' to 60'. The wire can be
mounted on the inside of an outside wall or
out a window and along the top of a non-
metal fence. Simple experimentation with
the antenna wire location is the best way.
Most of the time, leave the DX-LOCAL
switch set on DX, unless you are receiving
an overly strong station. This can keep the
strong station from overdriving the radio and
also help in listening to a weaker station
that is next to a strong station.
The buttons can be somewhat hard to
press. Check the LCD display to confirm
that you have pressed it hard enough to
register.
