I dont think I have seen a tuner of that style before, with so many SW bands AND FM.
What are the 5, 7, 10 kHz AM switch positions for? I believe we use 9kHz spacing on AM in Europe and the US use 10kHz, but 5 & 7???

Hi Mike.
They are basically for bandpass. The tuner must have been sold in many markets, the mains TX for example goes from 110v-250v.
Where the tuner scores (along with Eddystone and other high end units) is on the 5khz filter and is its adjacent frequency handling.
West Sound here on 1035 Khz is local to me so close in fact I can see the transmitter and Downtown Radio from Belfast (same line of sight) on 1026 Khz is easy to resolve with very little sideband splatter from West Sound
