    I owned my PL990 for just over one year and when I turned it on the other day my frequency display is off by 1khz on LW, AM and SW. I can fine tune sub but have to start with the desired frequency 1 kHz high. Is there a way to calibrate the display?

    I’ve discovered a temporary setting that some might find useful. When I’m listening to one station for lengthy periods, I like having the clock displayed instead of the signal strength in the upper right hand corner. I’m constantly having to press the display/lock button on the topside to view the clock. Because after a few seconds, the display reverts back to the signal strength.
    1. While the radio is on, push the display/lock button until you see the clock displayed in the upper right corner
    2. Push EITHER “+’ or “-” of the AM bandwidth keys ONCE, before the display switches back.
    3. Pushing any of the keypad buttons or rotating the tuner knob afterwards will “reset” this setting.
