Preparation Time difference between local time and UTC The table shows the time difference of each time zone with the UTC, which could be formulated as follows: Time difference = Local time* - UTC The number of hours marked with a plus sign (+) indicate the hours ahead of the UTC, while those marked with a minus sign (-) indicate the hours behind the UTC.

Automatic adjustment of the MW channel step A channel step is the basic interval unit in a frequency allocation system. The MW channel step differs from country to country (10 kHz for North and South American countries, and 9 kHz for Japan, Europe and other countries). Normally, the scanning or tuning steps needs to be adjusted to match the system for the area to scan or manually tune MW frequencies. This unit, however, determines your local area from your time zone setting (the time difference from the UTC) and automatically chooses the appropriate channel step. Preparation 15GB
