Grundig YB400PE
 
I have a Grundig YB400PE which has been working well for several
years.
Within the last week, the steps for MW tuning have changed from 10/1
(North America) to 9/1.
I don't remember changing anything to have made this happen.
I have tried to revert to standard settings for North America by using
the reset switch, but this has not changed the step setting.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get back the North American
step setting for the MW band?

Thanks

Look for a switch in the battery compartment.

Thanks for the suggestion, but there was no switch to be found even
after opening the case.

There is a Power ON + sequence. Here's the manual for download:

IMPORTANT!

SET-UP FOR NORTH AMERICAN USE

North America's AM stations are exactly 10 kilohertz apart. At

the factory, the radio is set up for the 9 kilohertz spacing of

stations in Europe. To change this to the 190KHZ spacing:

1. With the radio OFF, press and release the AM button

once.

2. Immediately press and release the STEP button. "10

KHz" now appears in the right side of the display and will

disappear in a few seconds.

This change will be permanently in the radio's memory as long as

batteries are not taken out for a period of ten minutes or more.

When travelling outside of the Americas, use the same procedure

as above to set the spacing back to 9 kilohertz.

Thanks for the help. Sequence worked as stated and the step size for
MW is 10 again.
