Any owners of this new radio here?
I am wondering if you are hearing any (audible) difference when you
switch between the wide and narrow bandwidth settings in AM mode.
Thanks for your answers.
Ramon Khalona
Hello Ramon,
I have one at hand *(about 8 years old I believe) and changing the
narrow/wide switch changes the RF bandwidth on LW, AM and SW. Changing
to narrow, reduces the *"HF" part of the audio spectrum (so the tone
changes).
You may check the operation when listening to a relative weak station
adjacent to a stronger one. When changing to wide, you may experience
more interference from the stronger station.
With kind regards,
Wim

Thanks Wim. *Are you talking about the 909? *I am referring to the
909x, which was released within the last six months or so.

Hello Ramon,
Are you sure you have the channel spacing (9/10 kHz) set correctly for
AM broadcast band. If you are living in Europe, it should be 9 kHz
mostly. *When a station isn't tuned correctly, changing the narrow/
wide switch has little to no effect.
With kind regards,
Wim

Thanks Wim. *I live in the USA and the channel spacing is set at 10
KHz.

Hello Ramon,
This will definitely improve reception quality. Does this solve the
narrow/wide problem also?
With kind regards,
