Features and Operation Explained — Front of Radio Introduction The CCRadio-SW can receive weaker signals, with superior audio, than perhaps any portable radio ever made. You are given much more control over how the radio works, sounds and picks up a signal. You can even deliver a digital signal to a computer for decoding. Learning how the radio works will help you with your audio experience. Please refer to the Radio Identification diagrams on pages 5-7 as you read through this instruction manua

Features and Operation Explained — Front of Radio distortion, try reducing the “AM RF GAIN” for a clearer signal; and 2) Reduce static. When a signal is amplified by the RF amplifier, background noise is gen- erally amplified out of proportion to the audio signal. This is due to the inherent nature of solid state chips. By reducing the “AM RF GAIN” control you can reduce static while keeping a decent audio signal. TUNING TIP: The “AM RF GAIN” knob should be set to full clockwise to begin. AM a

It is best to try the radio with the “Whip Antenna” first. While on FM, try collapsing the last two telescopic elements for better reception. This length resonates better with FM band frequencies. Then try using external antennas if stations are weak or hard to receive. BATTERY COMPARTMENT L The battery compartment wi
