RDS FUNCTION The ATS-909 incorporates circuitry to receive FM stations transmitting an RDS (Radio Data System) signal. When receiving an RDS station the display will show the station call letters and if the RDS station is also transmitting a CT function (clock time) it will automatically correct the time every minute. It is important to make sure that the Home Time (as described under "SETTING THE CLOCK (REAL TIME)" is set correctly. In addition if your time zone is operating under Daylight Savings Time make sure the DST (Daylight Savings Time) button [2] is depressed. For the time function to operate the following conditions must exist: a: TIME SET switch button (32) must be set in the AUTO position. b: Radio must be on. c: Radio must be tuned to an FM station transmitting RDS CT function. SINGLE SIDE BAND (SSB) RECEPTION SSB is very popular among ham and business radio users because of its signal intelligibility superiority. Many amateurs who operate SSB and transmit below 10 MHz generally use the lower side band (LSB) while amateur and commercial stations transmitting above 10 MH z generally use the USB. Your ATS909 is equipped to receive all USB and LSB transmissions. To receive SSB stations: 1] Turn the set on. 2] Extend the telescoping antenna full length and position upright or use external antenna. 3] Set the RF Gain Control [25] to maximum. 4] Select the SW band as described in "SELECTING A SW BAND" 5] If frequency of SSB station sought is known enter the frequency in accordance with earlier 10 Instructions. 6] You may also scan the band for SSB stations by slowly rotating the Rotary Tuning Knob [31] through the selected band, tuning for the best intelligibility and watching for deflections on the Signal Strength Indicator [k] in the display. (SSB transmit with a "suppressed carrier" meaning the Signal Strength Indicator [k] in the display will fluctuate only when there is a voice transmission and not during pauses in voice transmission. 7] As soon as you have located a SSB station (you will not be able to understand the speech) switch to SSB reception by depressing the MODE button [7]. Continued pressing of the MODE button [7] will alternate between USB and LSB. Try LSB for frequencies below 10 MHz or USB for frequencies above 10 MHz . 8] After tuning for maximum intelligibility switch MANUAL TUNING/STEP switch [5] to Slow position and readjust Rotary Tuning Knob [31] for maximum intelligibility. SWITCH SETTINGS AM NARROW/WIDE(Switch 33) For normal operation it is suggested that this switch be used in the wide position. If occasion arises where a near-by station interferes with the station being listened to the AM Narrow/Wide switch should be put into the narrow position. STEREO RECEPTION The ATS-909 is designed to receive FM stereo broadcasts with headphones connected to the stereo headphone jack [29]. Switch 33 FM STEREO/MONO must be placed in the stereo position. Stereo icon will appear in LCD display if headphones are connected. VOLUME CONTROL To adjust the volume control [34] to a comfortable postion. Make sure that control is set to an adequate level when radio is set for waking up. OPERATING LOCK (BUTTON 9)[ ] The operating lock prevents unintentional altering of any of the functions once set or accidently turning off the radio. Once set the ON/OFF switch and all tuning options become unalterable and can not be reactivated until the lock switch is turned off. It is a good policy to turn on the lock switch when transporting the radio as it will prevent the radio from being turned on accidently while in a bag or suitcase. To turn the lock switch on press switch (9) [ ]. When the lock switch is the ON position a lock symbol [ ] will appear in the display. To unlock radio press switch (9) [ ] again. This will unlock the radio and remove the lock symbol from the display. AERIALS The ATS-909 comes equipped with a integrated ferrite antenna built into the radio that should provide more then adequate reception for the MW and LW bands. For FM and SW reception it is advised that the telescoping antenna be extended and adjusted in length and direction for maximum results. 11 ANT-60 PORTABLE SW ANTENNA Included with the ATS-909 is the Sangean ANT-60 Portable SW Antenna. The antenna is plugged into jack (26) labeled EXT AM ANT. When fully extended this antenna should improve SW reception. For maximum performance this antenna should be placed as high as possible above the ground and in an unobstructed area if possible. MW STEP (36) This switch should be set for 10 kHz when listening to radio stations in the United States and Canada. In many countries overseas it may be necessary to switch to 9kHz to receive local broadcasting stations at the correct frequency. RESET SWITCH The Reset Swith (14) situated at the bottom of the receiver case will reset the Time and Microprocessor only. All memory presets will remain intact. Reprogram time in accordance to earlier instructions. LCD DISPLAY LIGHT Switch (3) [ ] is used to illuminate the display when it becomes too dark to see the display. The light will remain on approximately 12 seconds after initiated or will extinguish should any other function be activated. If an AC adapter is being used the LCD display will be illuminated continuously while the radio is in operation.
