In Reply to: RE: My AM tuner stops every 9Khz and I can't tune in station - anyone know why? posted by Cut-Throat on October 27, 2009 at 08:48:09
Thinking you got an overseas model, and if you are lucky, there's a switch or internal jumper to set things right.
OK - Problem Solved !!
I took the tuner out of the shelf (Not an easy deal) and sure enough on the back of the unit is a 9khz-10khz switch. Not documented in the manual and the picture of the real panel in the manual does not show this switch
But, I flipped the switch and I am now able to tune in the station.
Thanks for all the help !!

I have no idea expect that the manual does mention the 9khz steps and nothing else. You can check the manual yourself, as it is on page 5 under MANUAL TUNING.
Here is the link to the small manual in PDF Format

4Season is right about European medium wave spacing being different from North America's, CutThroat; 9 khz for Europe & 10 khz in the Americas. Portable digital shortwave radios from Grundig, Panasonic, Sangean/Realistic, & Sony, amongst others, usually provide access to either 9 khz or 10 khz medium wave spacing. Analog European f.m. transmissions are 25 micro-second de-emphasis, whilst American analog f.m. utilizes 75 micro-second de-emphasis. Hey Marantzguy, your Sony ICF-2010's f.m. band should extend down to 76 Mhz, the Japanese f.m. band.
