If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise
frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broad-
casting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also
download the information from the Internet.
Connecting the external SW antenna
To improve short wave reception, you can connect the external SW antenna
supplied.
1 Insert the plug of the antenna cable into the »SW EXT. ANT.« socket
on the left of the device.
Note:
Unroll and align the antenna to achieve the best reception. If there is
interference, you can move the »DX./LO.« switch to »LO.«.
SSB reception (for example for radio hams and
shipping)
Some short wave stations broadcast Morse code for shipping using conti-
nuous waves (CW). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is normally
broadcast on the single side band (SSB).
1 Select the SW waveband using »BAND«.
2 Select the frequency band, for example »75 m«, using »SW SELECT«.
3 Set the »SSB ON OFF« switch (on the right of the device) to »ON«.
– The »TUNE/SSB
•
« LED lights up red and then goes out.
4 Slowly turn the »SSB FINE TUNING« dial on the right of the device
until you achieve a clear reception.
– If an SSB station is received, the »TUNE/SSB
•
« LED lights up
orange.
Notes:
For fine tuning, you can also press in the »TUNING FINE« dial.
The range for SSB fine tuning is around ± 1.5 kHz.
