On the FM band it enables / disables the FM Stereo option.
On the AM bands this key selects either the wide or narrow DSP setting. Starting at the top bedside these is the AM BW / 12/24H / FM ST key. Next are the two arrow keys, these keys move up and down the bands in the default "fast" steps. Below this is the key lock button, a short press enables the keypad lock and a longer press disables this. A short press while the AR-1733 is on cycles through the sleep timer of various times, a longer press turns the AR-1733 off. The top red button is the power button a tap turns the radio on. Moving on to the other 9 keys on the front panel, these all have multiple functions which the owners guide explains well. The first thing I noticed is that the keys are much easier to press, a common issue with the AR1745 is that the keys take a lot of pressure to register the key press, this is not a problem with the AR-1733. The 0 key also allows switching between 9 and 10kHz steps on the medium wave band when the key is held for 3 seconds or more. Starting with the front panel the normal 0-9 number keys are nicely spaced and serve a dual purpose, they both allow you to enter frequencies and also recall memories from the PAGE memory system. Being quite involved in the Ultralight dxing hobby I am a big fan of these types of cheaper pocket size radios, for the cost which is between $30 and $60 they respect good value.ĪM (MW): 522 - 1620 kHz (9K) / 520 - 1710 kHz (10K)Īfter getting home and opening the box I was quite impressed by the size, it is a dead ringer for the AR1745 and looks to even use the same style case only with a couple of different buttons on the front and side. Yesterday I walked in to my local Jaycar outlet and spotted this radio which had only just been placed on the shelf.
