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.
