To change the AM tuning interval

The AM tuning interval is factory-preset to
9 kHz (or 10 kHz for some areas). To change the
AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first,

change the interval, all the AM preset stations
are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same
procedure.

even if you disconnect the mains lead or if a power
failure occurs.

antennas or connect an external antenna.
