button, noting that each press of this button flips to either LW
or the AM band.

you to Air Craft band.
3. To enter the Air Craft band press the FM button twice.
4. To enter a specific shortwave band, sequentially press the
'METERBAND' button to select the band of your choice. The most
popular shortwave bands can also be accessed with the F1-F7

and F7=16m).
When listening to FM, shortwave or Air Craft Band, fully extend the
telescopic antenna. It need not be extended when listening to LW or
AM stations (the LW/AM antenna is located inside the G3).
FM RDS
RDS (radio data system) allows the radio to display the station
identification, artist's name, song title, date and other text if the station
transmits this information. The station may or may not transmit some
or part of this information. To see if the station is transmitting any RDS
information, turn RDS on by pressing the RDS button. Then press the
RDS MODE button to see what is being transmitted.

SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR

The signal strength indicator shows relative strength of AM and
SW signals. When signal strengths are somewhat weak, it is normal
for the indicator's level to fluctuate. The indicator is not functional
with FM signals.
