With first use devices purchased in Germany start with AM / FM programming:
•
dE 80/40 operation on 80 channels in FM and 40 channels in AM. The preset
channel is channel 9 in AM; the device starts on the international trucker and
emergency channel. After a few moments dE is displayed (for Germany).
This programming is only permitted for Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia and is not to be
used in any other country (in the Czech Republic only 80 FM and in SK only channels 1-40 in FM +
channels 70-80 are to be used).
•
EU 40/40 operation on 40 channels in FM and 40 channels in AM. The preset
channel here is also channel 9 in AM; the device starts on the international trucker and
emergency channel. After a few moments EU is displayed (for Europe).
This programming is designed for Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, Switzerland (incl.
Liechtenstein), Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Romania and Spain. For Poland a special programming exists (see below) with the frequencies
according to the old Polish standard offset 5 kHz downward. For Spain also still a special
programming exists with 4 Watts AM; this and the Polish switch setting are only to be used in the
respective countries.
•
EC
Not all EU countries (EC setting) already permit AM operation for CB radios. Denmark, the UK,
Iceland, Croatia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia, Hungary and Cyprus
temporarily only use the EC 40 FM programming, until the new regulations are finally implemented.
•
Po 40/40 operation on 40 channels in FM (4 Watts) and 40 channels in AM (4
Watt) on the frequencies formerly common in Poland, which are offset against the
international frequencies by 5 kHz. This setting is only permitted in Poland, nowhere
else!
•
E 40/40 operation on 40 channels in FM (4 Watts) and 40 channels in AM (4
Watts). This setting is the new European CEPT setting. Currently, at the time of
this manual going to press, this setting applies already in Spain and Italy. The other
countries will follow.
•

customers we supply a version AE 6790 FM without country selection. Authorized dealers are also
permitted to change devices for Austria.
