1. How to Select a Preset Frequency under a single Station Name Another important characteristic of the Preset Station Tuning is that you can save up to 10 kinds of Frequencies under one Station Name Each Frequency can hold the following types of data band and frequency of the broadcast AM detection mode e Program Time broadcasting time or any desired time Note The Timer Page can hold only one Frequency Memorizing Program Time for each Frequency enables the following e The ON AIR indication page 16 tells you whether it is the broadcasting time for the station or the program e The unit automatically selects the most appropriate station to tune in among the 10 Frequencies Saving two or more Frequencies with different Program Times under one Station Name is useful especially for SW reception The receiving condition of SW broadcast varies depending on the season time and frequency The same programs are broadcasted at the same time using different frequencies so that the listeners can choose the frequency with the best receiving condition The best frequency varies depending on the area and the time For example NSB has two frequencies 3925 kHz and 6055 kHz Let s suppose that in a certain area 3925 kHz is received clearly in the morning but in the afternoon 6055 kHz is received better In this case you can memorize two Frequencies wi2. 2 Connect the antenna connector to the AM EXT ANT jack of the unit SW external antenna to AM EXT ANT When reception is noisy connect one end of a ground wire to the antenna connector as illustrated and the other end directly to a convenient earth ground 29 External Antenna Connection Recording a Broadcast Use the wide range antenna AN 1 or AN 102 not supplied There are two methods Method A With a connecting cord connect the OUTPUT jack of the antenna controller supplied with the AN 1 or AN 102 and the AM EXT ANT jack of the ICF SW77 Method B For LW MW reception only 1 With a connecting cord connect the OUTPUT jack of the antenna controller and the INPUT jack of the antenna coupler supplied with the AN 1 or AN 102 2 Put the antenna coupler near the ICF SW77 Example When the AN 1 is used gt 2 fe lo Antenna o OJ fee 1 AN 1 Antenna ICF SW77 to coupler ERA OO O0 90 to AM EXT ANT 1 to INPUT Notes When receiving MW or LW broadcasts without and external antenna be sure to disconnect a SW external antenna Otherwise you cannot receive them as the built in ferrite bar antenna does not function e Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe Doing so could cause a fire If there is lightning do not touch the wire of an external antenna and disconnect its AC power adaptor if con nected immediately Never touc
