2018 radio presets

[ahh-cool]

Does anybody know how to tune the radio manually.
I can get to the settings and change the station but it doesn't stay.
I'm not talking about the automatic search

When I hold the joy stick left or right the radio searches for the next station and stops. If the radio is not staying then its a weak signal or the antenna is not pulling it in good enough. (I think)

Just found out today, 2018 RT, it has an "AutoPreset" function.

Go to the "FM" setting and then "Configuration" and select "AutoPreset" (I'm writing this from memory, hope I got the right sequence).

AutoPreset will assign an available frequency to each of the 12 presets, my guess is that it would override any already set preset but I have not tested this.

However, for some reason, it ignored a local frequency (signal strength maybe) even though I could manually tune to it and it came in loud and clear, and of course, it turned out to be the radio station that I like to listen to the most. Fortunately, after some fiddling around I was successful in overriding preset 1 to the desired frequency.

There is a manual setting mode for the radio. I accidently found it, but was not in a place (out of town) to play with it. You can set up to 12 channels manually. It is there, but can't tell you how to get back into it right now but something like holding the joy stick down for a few seconds. I'm still trying to find how to again and will post it once I get it. It did take a while to get out of it though. I use the auto search function in the mean time.

Sounds to me like the process was developed by the military - not user friendly and counter intuitive.

I figured how to program the 12 channels on the radio:

Repeat for additional stations.

Press Jog dial IN a couple times
Jog dial to the left a couple times to return to radio screen.
“IN” means to press the jog dial straight in
Remember, if you do auto select to set stations, it will erase all pre-set stations.
