OPTIMIZING SHORTWAVE RECEPTION

Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances

including other countries and continents. The following information

will help you get the best results.

• During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best.

• At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best.

• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be

good.

• Getting very close to a window and holding the radio improves

shortwave reception.

SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications

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.

Turn on the G5. To use SSB, turn on the SSB circuit by pressing the

SSB button. Note that SSB appears in the display. Tune to the short-

wave frequency of your choice. 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

SSB signal clarity, placing the DX/LOCAL switch in the LOCAL posi-

tion may be desirable.

The DX/LOCAL switch on the left side of the G5 adjusts sensitivity.

Use DX as the default setting for maximum sensitivity to signals. If
