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

27、the frequency ranges (Bands) below for shortwave broadcast reception: SHORTWAVE LISTENING OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION SELECTING LW, AM, FM, AIRCRAFT BAND AND SHORTWAVE continued 1. Turn on the G3. To select LW or AM press the AM BAND button, noting that each press of this button flips to either L

28、W or the AM band. 2. For FM press the FM BAND button. Note that a second press takes you to Air Craft band. 3. To enter the Air Craft band press the FM button twice. 4. To enter a specific shortwave band, sequentially press the METERBAND button to select the band of your choice. The most popular sho

29、rtwave 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). When listening to FM, shortwave or Air Craft Band, fully extend the telescopic antenna. It need not be extended when listening to LW or AM stations (the LW/AM antenna is located insi

30、de the G3). RDS (radio data system) allows the radio to display the station identification, artists name, song title, date and other text if the station transmits this information. The station may or may not transmit some or part of this information. To see if the station is transmitting any RDS inf

31、ormation, turn RDS on by pressing the RDS button. Then press the RDS MODE button to see what is being transmitted. The signal strength indicator shows relative strength of AM and SW signals. When signal strengths are somewhat weak, it is normal for the indicators level to fluctuate. The indicator is

35、munications using the single-sideband mode such as amateur radio, Morse code, weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as utility signals. The Internet and your local library are great resources to learn more. To experiment with SSB, turn on the G3 and position yourself near a w

36、indow if youre in a building with stories above you. Tune to the 20 meter Amateur band, by pressing 14150 KHz with the keypad and then pressing the AM button to enter it. Turn on the SSB circuit by pressing the SSB button twice (dont select SYNC). Note that SSB appears in the display and USB or LSB

37、are to the right. Select upper sideband (USB) with sequential presses of the U/LSB button. Set the FINE tuning knob to its approximate center position. Put the sensitivity switch, on the left side of the radio, to the DX position. Fully extend the antenna and with the tuning knob tune slowly from 14

38、150 to 14350 KHz, listening for anything that sounds like a human voice. Use the tuning knob to coarse-tune the SSB signal, then fine-tune with the FINE+ knob. This SSB circuit allows tuning of both upper and lower sideband signals. For best clarity of some extremely strong SSB signals, placing the

39、DX/LOCAL switch (left side panel) in the LOCAL position (down) may be desirable. The DX/LOCAL switch (left side panel) adjusts sensitivity. Use DX (up) as the default setting for maximum sensitivity to signals. If strong stations or SSB signals seem distorted, then use LOCAL (down). This switch does

40、 not function in FM mode. The synchronous detector can be used when listening to AM (medium wave) and shortwave broadcast stations. It may help to minimize inter- ference and to improve the signal quality. While listening to a station press the SYNC button. SYNC appears in the display as does USB or

41、 LSB to the right. You can sync on the Upper or Lower sideband by pressing the U/LSB button and noting which selection gives the clearer reception or improves the audio. Turn the synchronous detector off while tuning stations or when its not needed. Using the WIDE/NARROW button may also help. Using

42、the synchronous detector does not always minimize interference or improve the signal. To turn the synchronous detector off, press the SYNC button. This is a selectivity switch on the right side of the radio, under the TUNE knob. Use WIDE when there is no adjacent frequency interference for the best

43、audio fidelity. Use NAR. To reduce adjacent frequency interfer- ence, but minimizing audio fidelity. 12 GLOBE TRAVELER G3 OWNERS MANUAL 13 GLOBE TRAVELER G3 OWNERS MANUAL TUNING IN STATIONS DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY AUTO-SEARCH TUNING AUTO-SEARCH TUNING continued Turn on the G3. Stations are tuned with

44、 the Buttons, Tuning- Knob, Direct Frequency Entry and Auto-Search. Quick, short, sequential presses of the buttons enables tuning up or down frequency. Alternately, the TUNING knob can be used. Continuous tuning in shortwave can only be done with the tuning knob and via direct frequency entry. Turn

45、 on the G3. Use this method when the desired frequency of a radio station is known. AM, LW, SW and Air Band frequencies are entered in kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM frequencies are entered in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz, ignoring the decimal point. NOTE: Aircraft frequencies are

46、 entered in Kilohertz (120100 KHz), but are normally given in Magahertz (120.1 MHz). 1. Use the numeric buttons to enter the frequency. 2. Within 3 seconds, press the AM button if its an AM, LW or SW frequency, or the FM button for FM and Air Band frequencies. With the G3 on, auto-search tuning star

47、ts by pressing either the up or down frequency button for about 2 seconds. The G3 has 3 selectable auto-search modes: STOP, ATS or DELAY-5. The factory programmed default mode is STOP. These are described below. When auto searching shortwave stations, place the bandwidth switch into the WIDE positio

48、n. Auto search is not recommended for SSB signals. STOP: Auto-searching stops on the next encountered station. DELAY-5: Auto-searching stops for 5 seconds on each next encountered station, then moves on. ATS: (Auto Tuning Storage): Auto-searching automatically stores the strongest FM local stations

49、into memories starting with page 99 and counting downward until all are stored, e.g. 98, 97, 96, etc. Tune to the FM band and perform auto-search. After the ATS scan, select your memory with the buttons and the station with the F1-7 buttons. If too many memories are filled with static, try the scan again with the DX/LOCAL switch set in the LOCAL position (down). To select an auto-search mode: 1. With the radio turned off, hold down the F6 button for about 2 seconds,
