CHANGING THE TUNING STEPS AND 12/24-HR CLOCK
In North and South America the frequency step between
adjacent channels in the AM (MW) band is 10 KHz. In the
rest of the world this step is 9 KHz. Usually the frequency step
has been preset in the factory for your area.
The tuning step on this set is also combined with the hour clock
display where:
10 KHz uses the 12-hr clock
9 KHz uses the 24-hr clock
All preset stations will be lost and need to be programmed
again when you change the tuning step.
