Resumen del manual
Typing in ‘shortwave antennas’ on your favorite Internet search site will provide further information. Contact Eton Corporation if you have questions about such antennas. 10 STEREO/MONO BUTTON (8) When listening to FM stations this switch selects stereo or monaural. Select stereo when using earphones. When not using earphones, it’s OK to leave it on stereo. In either case, if the FM signal is poor, selecting mono may improve it. 27 G5 OWNER’S MANUAL G5 OWNER’S MANUAL 11 MUSIC/WIDE AND NEWS/NARROW SWITCH (41) Note the wide/narrow diagram in the display (36). AM/FM – The MUSIC/WIDE position creates a ‘brighter’ music sound. The NEWS/NARROW position creates a less ‘bright’ sound. Shortwave – The MUSIC/WIDE position creates the best audio fidelity. The NEWS/NARROW position helps to minimize interference from other stations. 12 LINE-OUT SOCKET (43) This socket provides an industry standard, fixed level audio output source for safely routing the G5’s audio to the line-in socket of a stereo system or recording device. Follow your external device’s line-input instructions. The G5’s volume control has no effect on this output. 13 EARPHONE SOCKET (47) AND USING EARPHONES Earphones/headphones with a 1/8 inch stereo plug can be used. Plug them into the earphone socket (insert symbol) on the left side of the radio. Turn the volume down before wearing the earphones, then turn up the volume to your liking. 28 G5 OWNER’S MANUAL G5 OWNER’S MANUAL 14 REAR FOLDING STAND (19) Pull the folding stand from the rear of the G5, allowing viewing at a comfortable angle. (see below) 15 RESET BUTTON (3) The reset button is located inside the small hole (3) labeled RESET. If the G5 operates erratically, poke a paper clip into the reset hole to reset its microprocessor. Performing a reset does not erase what is stored into the memory locations but does reset the clock to 0:00. 29 G5 OWNER’S MANUAL G5 OWNER’S MANUAL 16 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE SW BANDS, SSB AND OTHER SHORTWAVE HELP NEED HELP?

WHAT IS SHORTWAVE? Shortwave is a broadcast frequency range that allows stations to be heard over vast distances, usually thousands of miles. You’ll hear news and information, as well as culturally oriented programming, including music. Some programming is biased or propagandized. Misconceptions: Note that shortwave has nothing to do with picking up far away AM and FM stations or picking up local two-way communications such as police, fire, ambulance, local airport traffic and marine harbor traffic. For example, it is not possible to hear Los Angeles’ AM and FM stations in New York City. Local two-way communications does not take place on shortwave, but rather on VHF and UHF frequencies, requiring the use of a VHF/UHF scanner to hear them. WHAT ARE SHORTWAVE BANDS? The key to enjoying shortwave is understanding ‘bands’. If you have 30 G5 OWNER’S MANUAL G5 OWNER’S MANUAL 16 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE continued ever listened to AM or FM radio, then you already know what a band is. In North America, the AM band is a frequency range stretching from 530 to 1710 kilohertz; the FM band is 88-108 megahertz. A band is a frequency range in which stations are located. To find AM or FM stations you tune around with the tuning buttons (or the tuning knob on an analog radio) until you find a station you like. Shortwave is similar and the shortwave bands have names like 25 meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc. These are abbreviated 25m, 31m and 49m. Just like in AM and FM radio, one simply gets into the shortwave band and tunes around, looking for stations. Each band represents a frequency range, as shown in the accompanying band chart. For example, the 19 meter shortwave band encompasses the frequency range of about 15100 to 15600 kilohertz. Since some radios show frequency in megahertz (mHz) and some in kilohertz (kHz), both are shown here. Look at your radio’s tuning scale or its digital display to determine which frequency designation it uses in shortwave. On some shortwave radios these frequencies will look like 15100 kHz, 15105 kHz or 15110 kHz and on other radios they might look like 15.1 mHz, 15.105 mHz or 15.11 mHz. The exact range of a band may be slightly different in one band chart or another and may even vary slightly from one radio to another. This is perfectly OK. On some radios the band names, e.g. 19 meters, are clearly marked, on others they are not marked at all. If it is not apparent how to get into a band on your radio, consult the owner’s manual.
