9  TUNING IN AM STATIONS
S350DL   
OWNER’S MANUAL
TUNING IN AM STATIONS (MW) 
Turn on the radio and set the AM/SW BAND switch 
to the AM position and the bandwidth switch to 
wide or narrow. MW appears in the display. Use the 
outer ‘fast’ tuning knob to find stations, fine tuning 
with the inner ‘slow’ knob when needed.
• If there is interference from adjacent 
stations, place the BAND WIDTH control in the 
NARROW position. If there is no interference, 
leave it in the WIDE position.
• If there is excess background noise, turn on 
the SW LPF switch, which may minimize 
the noise.
• If a station is so strong that audio distortion 
occurs, reduce the gain level with the AM/SW RF 
GAIN control knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
• The telescopic antenna does not have to be 
extended for AM reception. The radio has an inter-
nal, directional, ferrite-bar antenna for AM reception.
• To optimize AM reception, swivel the radio until 
maximum signal strength is achieved.
THE FREQUENCY LOCK FEATURE
The S350DL uses a unique circuit for AM and SW 
tuning to optimize frequency stability and minimize 
signal drifting. While turning either tuning knob, 
‘Khz’ flashes in the display. It stops flashing about 
3 seconds after a station is tuned-in, engaging 
frequency-lock.
10  TUNING IN SHORTWAVE STATIONS
IF YOU ARE ALREADY 
FAMILIAR WITH SHORTWAVE: 
Fully extend the telescopic antenna and turn on 
the radio. Set the AM/SW BAND switch to the SW1, 
SW2 or SW3 position and the BANDWIDTH switch 
to wide or narrow. SHORTWAVE 1, 2 or 3 appears 
in the display. Use the outer ‘fast’ tuning knob to 
quickly go to a desired frequency that you already 
know or to the band that you want to tune around 
in, then fine tune stations with the inner ‘slow’ knob 
when needed. If a station is so strong that audio 
distortion occurs, reduce the gain level with the 
AM/SW RF GAIN control knob by turning it
counter-clockwise.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO SHORTWAVE OR 
NEED A REFRESHER
(also see the section titled INTRODUCTION TO 
SHORTWAVE, later in this manual) Fully extend the 
telescopic antenna and turn on the radio.
Get close to a window and fully extend the 
telescopic antenna. Follow the instructions below, 
depending on day or night listening. 
If it is daytime, turn the AM/SW BAND switch to the 
SW2 position. Use the fast tuning knob and tune to 
15100 KHz. This is the beginning of the shortwave 
19 meter band, one of the three best daytime bands, 
extending from 15100-15600 KHz. Using the slow 
tuning knob, tune through this band, carefully listen-
ing for stations. Also try the 13 meter band (21450-
21850 KHz) and 16 meter band (17480-17900 KHz), 
both in SW3.
If it is night, turn the AM/SW BAND switch to the SW1 
position. Use the fast tuning knob and tune to 5800 
KHz. This is the beginning of the shortwave 49 meter 
band, one of the four best night bands, extending 
from 5800-6200 KHz. Using the slow tuning knob, 
tune through this band, carefully listening for sta-
tions. Also try the 25 meter band in SW2 (11600-
12200 KHz), 31 meters in SW2 (9400-9900 KHz) 
and 41 meters in SW1 (7150-7600 KHz).
NOTE: If there is interference from adjacent stations,
