Am / Fm Mode Switch; Special Interest Channels; Memo Modus - Albrecht AE5290 XL Bedienungsanleitung

The muting adjustment is particularly important during channel
scanning. In this mode the point to which the set is adjusted decides
whether scanning is stopped at the signal or not. Therefore you should
test the various muting settings for various signal strengths and get to
know this function.
In the two programming modes 40/40 and 80/40, FM modulation is available on all channels,
but AM transmitting only on the 40 international channels. On these channels you can switch
between AM and FM using the function button AM - FM. The display shows either AM or FM
accordingly.
When you switch on the set the first time it operates on FM.
Please note that in 80/40 mode, on channels 41-80 it is possible to receive in AM, but
transmitting in AM is not possible (forbidden). If your radio is set to AM and you choose a
channel between 41 and 80, the radio will show Er (error) if you press PTT and try to
transmit.
The AM-FM switch has no function in 40 FM position of country switch or in a restricted FM
version for Austria or in FM only mode.
There are some channels which have been established for certain purposes:
Channel 1
Channel 9
To call other stations, who you know are listening in on channel 9, you can also use this
channel. Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has been made, agree
on a free channel for your conversation and then channel 9 will be free again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are listening
in. Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible!
