Tips
• The unit scans the frequencies in descending order when holding
down

• To change the scanning direction, hold down either
–
1¿ or ÷1
+
opposite to the current direction. This is convenient when, for example,
you want to return to the previous reception after the unit has resumed
scanning.
• When scanning for MW broadcasts at night when reception is intense,
or when scanning under prevalent interference, the unit may stop
scanning to null broadcasts frequently. Switch ATT to ON and adjust
sensitivity with the ATT Control (see “Controlling scan stops”, below).
Under normal conditions, set ATT to OFF.
Controlling scan stops — using the ATT switch and the ATT
Control
Use the ATT (attenuator) switch and the ATT Control to control
reception sensitivity when the unit stops scanning to null
broadcasts frequently or when scanning under prevalent
interference. Under normal conditions, use the radio with ATT
set to OFF (i.e., with maximum sensitivity).

ATT
The ATT Control is activated when ATT is switched ON. Turn
the ATT Control toward MAX to reduce sensitivity. The radio
will skip weaker signals and stop at only stronger ones.
Note
If the ATT Control is turned too much toward MAX, the radio will not
stop on any weaker signals at all. Switch ATT to OFF if you do not need
to use the attenuator.
