ROM Table of the Yacht Boy 500

When receiving FM stations which are normally supposed to

service relatively small areas, you can expect an equally good

reception quality all over the day. With some restrictions, this

applies also for local LW and MW stations.

When receiving SW stations, the signal has covered in most

cases very long distances.

Due to physical laws, the same constantly good reception

quality as known from local reception can thus not be

guaranteed for SW reception.

Most radio stations which operate with SW are broadcasting

their programmes on several frequencies. Through this

distribution onto several SW bands, the best propagation

conditions during the different times of day and even during

different seasons are used.

To offer you a most convenient operation also when receiving

on the SW bands, your GRUNDIG Yacht Boy 500 has been

provided with a memory containing a ROM table (ROM =

READ ONLY MEMORY), into which 90 frequencies of 9 radio

stations which are operating all over the world are stored.

If you wish (press the MODE button (20)), the display will in-

dicate the frequency currently tuned to (see list) beside the

country sign and the station abbreviation.

Selecting Frequencies

For the table, frequencies have been selected on which m a i n l y

programmes in the respective national languages,

but also service programmes for foreigners in the corres-

ponding language (partly also in German) are broad-

casted.

Despite of the up most care taken over the selection of the

frequencies, it may happen, when calling up a memory lo-

cation, that ...

a) you hear a different station than that indicated in the dis-

play,

b) you hear only disturbing noise.

In the first case, the cause is to be found in the multiple use

of certain frequencies.

In the second case, there are several causes possible. For

example, that...

- the station concerned is currently not broadcasting on this

frequency,

- the station has temporarily exchanged this frequency with

another frequency, or

- the current reception conditions for the area

concerned are very bad

In such cases, it is recommended to call up (interrogate) all

alternative frequencies stored for the station concerned (for

this, use the MO NO /ROM-AF button (21)).

For detailed information about programmes, broadcasting times, and

eventually changed frequencies, please contact the respective radio

stations.

We are sure that, with this ROM table, we have placed a means

at your disposal which offers you the possibility of quickly and

securely tune to worldwide operating SW Stations, even if

you have only little experience in short wave reception.
