Finding Empty Radio Frequencies
An empty frequency is one where there is only static, and not even a faint
radio station can be heard. If you live in a big city with a lot of radio stations,
finding an empty FM frequency can be tricky. Visit www.dlo.com/openfm to
find the best frequencies in your area.
Here are some tips for finding an empty frequency:
• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to
107.9. Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there are often
empty FM stations in the 100’s that will work great.
• When using the scan/seek function on your car stereo, if your tuner
stops on 101 and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequen-
cies for an empty frequency.
• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies -
for example 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this
way. If that frequency is taken, scan to the next station and try again.
• Save a station as a preset on your radio when you find a frequency that
works well in your area, and also set that frequency as a preset on your
TransDock Classic. To learn how to set a preset, please read Setting
Preset Stations [pg. 10] .
Tuning Your TransDock Classic
To tune your TransDock Classic, use the triangular Tuning Buttons on either
side of the LCD display on the front of TransDock Classic. Use the right button
for tuning up, left button for tuning down.
TransDock Classic has four preset stations. The default frequencies for these
presets are 88.1, 94.9, 100.9, and 107.9. To cycle through these presets, press
the Preset Button on the right side of TransDock Classic. The LCD will show
which preset number you’re writing to, ie. CH01 , CH02 , etc, and then the preset
frequency. You can set your own preset when you find frequencies that work
well in your area. To learn how, please read Setting Preset Stations [pg 10] .
