Nice blog, Bassam! On your radio, L (or LW- "Lang")= longwave, M (MW- "Mittel") Medium wave, and U (UK)+ Ultra short wave (K= "Kurz", or Short).

Overview here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwave

MW is basically equivalent to AM in USA, and USA FM stations appear on the UK bands, since ultra high frequencies allow less interference.

Hope this helps.

Thx tram! So that means i'll get am and fm waves normally right?

Right- also stations in your part of the world do some LW broadcasting, it seems.

Original Service and Warranty Booklets? Does any of you still have theirs?

Yes, I have it but the owner rarely took it to the dealer so it's mostly blank.

bassam Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:52 pm
