| Question: In manual tuning, why do I have to turn the knob a lot to change the frequency in the lower sideband? |

| Question: How do I set priority on a shortwave station? |
Answer: You can store one station as the priority station, then quickly recall it as shown below:
- Tune to the page you stored your favorite shortwave station according to the steps in Tuning Preprogrammed Shortwave Stations.
- Press M/MEM to first store the page which contains the desired station.
Note: Unlike FM/MW/LW bands which store desired station in a memory location, the shortwave band stores a page which contains 9 stations in a memory location.
- Press PRIORITY to store the page with desired station in the priority location.
Note: If you previously stored a priority station, pressing PRIORITY replaces it.
- Press PRIORITY to tune to the priority page first. The receiver tunes to the desired page and then to the strongest frequency among the 9 preset stations.
Note: The strongest frequency might not be the same as the desired frequency.
- Press the memory location number where you stored that station in Step 1 to tune to the priority station.
