Default Alinco AM Radio

Hi,

Well, I cannot help if I get flamed - or at least some insults, because I
think I might deserve them - but here's my question:

I own an Alinco DJX5 'communications receiver'. I'be been able to receive
everything from Cops to Coroners. (A couple years ago, we had a Medical
Examiner in Toronto that was almost a comedian!) But, I digress....The DJX5
can monitor from 0.1 to 2200MHZ.

Last night, I had to go to work and wanted to listen to the Boston / NY game
while I was on way to wait for the bus. Since my scanner has 'no gaps' I
assumed it would be a cakewalk to dial in the station and I'm all set right?
Nope! Owing to my own stupidity, I didn't bother to have a quick peek in the
manual to see if anything was different when programming a simple Am station
instead os the usual 800 Mhz stuff I usually have programmed. Well, needless
to say, I couldn't get my local Am whci is very powerful on my radio and I'm
certain I did everthing right.

Would anybody be kind enough to tell me where I went wrong? Again, I was in
AM mode, step size was set to 1khz and I tried punching the the numbers
several times. If I'm missing something very obvious - please just let me
know. (Then, kick my ass to Alaska!)

Thanks,
Mike...hiding in a corner...T
