Free-tuning receiver
The 8528S series marine transceiver may also be used as a free-tuning receiver covering the world broadcast bands and operating over the frequency range of 500 kHz to 25 MHz. Selected by operation of the front panel controls — Tune Rx Frequency’ the transceiver tunes through the frequency range in steps of 1 kHz (Fast) or 100 Hz (Slow) for fine tuning. The frequency is shown on the digital display.
