Signal Strength Indicator; Optimizing Shortwave Reception - Eton GLOBE TRAVELER G3 Guía De Funcionadmiento

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.
SHORTWAVE LISTENING
To learn about shortwave we recommend the two publications below,
published yearly and available from major booksellers. Additionally, the
Internet is a great resource for learning about shortwave. Type 'shortwave

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, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best.
• At night, frequencies below 13 MHz 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.
Use the frequency ranges (Bands) below for shortwave
broadcast reception:
