SHORTWAVE WITH THE E5
SHORTWAVE NOTE: If you’re completely new to shortwave or need
a ‘refresher’, see the special shortwave section toward the end of
this manual.
There are two ways to select shortwave.
1. Sequentially press the ‘METERBAND’ button (10) until the short
wave band of your choice is selected.
2. The seven most popular shortwave bands can also be accessed
with the F1-F7 buttons (F1=49m, F2=41m, F3=31m, F4=25m,
F5=22m, F6=19m and F7=16m). In each method, the last used
frequency is automatically displayed. To tune-in shortwave sta-
tions, use the tuning methods described earlier. Below is a band
chart showing the E5’s shortwave coverage.
E5 SHORTWAVE COVERAGE AND TUNING SUGGESTIONS
The E5 has continuous frequency coverage from 150 to 29999
kilohertz (kHz). This includes Longwave (150-519 kHz), Medium
Wave (the AM broadcast band (520-1710 kHz) and Shortwave
(1711-29999 kHz). To go to a specic shortwave frequency, use the
direct-frequency-entry tuning method. When searching for short-
wave stations in an international broadcast band, use manual tuning,
the tuning knob (40) or auto tuning. Direct-frequency- entry, manual
tuning and use of the tuning knob enable tuning anywhere in the
shortwave spectrum. Auto-tuning scans only within the designated
frequency limits of shortwave international bands. With auto-tuning,
after one band has been scanned, tuning resumes in the next
band (see auto-tuning band chart, below).
