to the strong local stations.

the first six strong stations of the band you are in
(AM, FMI or FM2) into the memory buttons.
The display will flash "AUTO" and display the
autoset icon "A" while the stations are being set
in the memory buttons.NOTE: If there are less than six strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store the
last strong station detected on the band.
After all stations have been filled, the radio
will begin playing the station stored on
memory button 1.
To deactivate the Auto Memory Store mode and
return to the manually-set memory button stations,
simply push the "AUTOSET" button. Display will
