Checking the signal strength
You can use the digital signal meter to check the signal
strength of FM frequencies. The display range is from
16 to 70 dB (1µV of radio frequency voltage = 0dB). To
obtain a signal to noise ratio sufficient for receiving a
stereo broadcast, we recommend a reading greater
than 50 dB.
This unit also lets you use the digital signal meter with
the AM band. With AM, display range is from 0 to 10
(larger values indicate stronger signals).
1
Tune in an FM or AM station.
2
Press DISPLAY repeatedly to display the digital
signal meter.
3
Rotate the FM or AM aerial to obtain the
strongest signal.
