Tuner reset
You can change the AM tuning scale to 9 KHz or 10 KHz. After tuning in any AM station turn off the receiver. Hold down the Preset tuning + and - ve together.
All preset stations will be erased when you change the tuning scale. To reset the scale to 10 kHz (or 9 kHz), repeat the procedure. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
