	Frequency coverage is 150 khz to 29999 khz, as well as the commercial FM band. For shortwave, reception is in [[AM]], and can be switched to [[SSB]]. A beat frequency oscillator (BFO) knob adjusts the carrier frequency, and is used to adjust reception for either [[USB]] or [[LSB]]. For [[FM]], audio can be listened to in stereo if headphones are used. Tuning is digital, with a large LCD display. Tuning is done using either a tuning knob, or by direct entry via a numeric keypad, or by "UP" and "DOWN" buttons. There are also nine frequency memories.
