SELECTING FM, MW(AM), LW, SHORTWAVE
AND AIRCRAFT BAND
The Satellit 750 receives FM on 88-108 MHz, AM on 520-1710 KHz,
Longwave on 100-519 KHz, Shortwave on 1711-29999 KHz and Aircraft
on 118 -137 MHz.
Turn the Satellit 750 on. Select FM by pressing the FM button, MW(AM)
and Longwave by pressing the MW/LW button (press it twice if necessary),
Shortwave by pressing the SW button sequentially until you have selected
the desired band (the band number flashes in the upper right corner of the
display) and the Aircraft band by pressing the AIR button.
NOTE: Be sure to fully extend the telescopic antenna when listening to
SW, FM and AIR. The swivel AM antenna is located at the top of the radio;
swivel it for best AM reception.
The Satellit 750 receives shortwave on all meter bands and between the
meter bands. A band is a frequency range that contains shortwave stations.
All 14 of the international broadcast bands can be accessed. The bands are
numbered 120, 90, 75, 60, 49, 31, 25, 22, 19, 16, 15, 13 and 11 meters
and are commonly called 'Meter Bands'. Bands with frequencies above
13000 KHz are best during the day; below 13000 KHz are best at night. To
access the beginning of a band, press SW over and over. As you press you'll
see the band number on the upper right side of the display. Just go to the
beginning of a band and start tuning.

OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION

Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances including
other countries and continents. The following information will help you get
the best results.
• During the day, use bands with frequencies above 13000 KHz.
• At night, use bands with frequencies below 13000 KHz.
• Around sunset and sunrise, use bands with the entire shortwave range.
• Getting very close to a window improves shortwave reception.
SSB (SINGLE SIDE BAND) TUNING
SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications using the
single sideband mode such as amateur radio, Morse code, weather-fax
transmissions and other signals often referred to as 'utility' signals. The
Internet and your local library are great resources to learn more. Type 'ama-
teur radio frequencies' or 'sideband' into an Internet search engine.
