RE: Possible sleeper tuner found! B&K TS108!

Posted by DanV on April 16, 2020 at 09:55:59:
Does anyone know how to operate the Secret Functions of this B&K TS108? It periodically switches to different modes. Accidental button pushing triggers it, and I have to unplug it to reset to FM tuner mode, etc.
The four most common hidden functions that materialized from the ether are AM radio, Signal Strength, an apparent multipath meter (Definitely not AM signal, but it probably has one), and sloth slow .25 tuning steps, rather than the snail slow .5 steps.
I would really like to know how to navigate through these features.
BTW, I have a really smooth to operate, beautiful, great sounding nine band, $1000 in 1979 Kenwood KT-917. Despite this ornary to operate, ugly, not terribly FM receptive B&K, FMTUNER INFO.COM actually rated the B&K slightly better in their big shootout. It does have a wee bit more punch in the bass.
Not even the AM band is in the manual!
