ORTS-S = Local broadcast station button
Hello,
the button ORTS-S = Ortssender = Local broadcast stations usually switches the circuit over to an enhanced bandwidth in the IF section.
In some radios a similar button forced the unit to operate as TRF only instead of a Superhet.
Just search for the junction numbers of the ORTS-S switch in the diagrams and follow them to see how it operates in detail here.
Kind regards Scheida

Re: Grundig 5010 ORTS-S. Pushbutton
I removed the bottom cover, and discovered the threaded shaft of an adjustment screw, directly in line with that so-named pushbutton.
If you depress the button, it reveals a hidden slotted screw head, to the left of the pushbutton shaft opening.
I slowly screwed it all the way in, then back, and was actually able to hear a handful of AM stations.
I have it set for WHON, 930 AM, right now, but it's not a very strong station, and has alot of hiss and hum in the background. (This station's physically located in Centerville, IN; about 60 miles due south of where we live.)
I don't think, that without an external antenna, the reception's likely to get much better. Any other ideas to improve the AM signal reception?
Anyway, at least that's a start. I'm not sure if I'm setting it, properly, and it looks like just the one fixed setting is possible. Thanks for any guidance, or help.
