SHORTWAVE BROADCAST RECEPTION
Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances includ-
ing other countries and continents. The following information will
help you get the best results. Select appropriate SW meterbands
with the METERBAND button.
• During the day, frequencies above 11000 KHz are usually best.
• At night, frequencies below 13000 KHz are usually best.
• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be
good.
• Getting very close to a window and holding the radio improves
shortwave reception.
TUNING SSB (SINGLE SIDEBAND)
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.
