need help with broken stereo

[flipwonder]

well i have a problem with my ghetto *** stereo. Dont have money to replace the car, and not even enough to replace the stereo, so im basically have to live with it. The major problem with it, is the radio channels are not able to be displayed on the moniter because it some how got broken. I can get to the radio channels i want to get, but by goin through the long process of scanning through all the channels and waiting for their DJ to say the channel so i can guide my self to the channel i want to get.

want i want to do is find how to preset my channels. For some gay reason, the method of holding the button on the channel i want to preset, does not work. But i do have these other buttons, i want to know if these buttons are possibly the solution i need. For more assistance, heres a description of what it is:

Pioneer stereo KEH-2500(on a 1990-1992 mistubishi mighty max)

Buttons:

6 pre-set buttons

Band Button

Loc. S Button

P.Scan Button

BSM Button

i dont know what these buttons are for, but is there a chance you guys can help.

Sorry if this is hard to work with, i understand this is an old stereo.

Thanks a lot guys

Is there a smaller button somewhere on it labeled either 'Mem' or 'Prog' ?If so you'll depress that button then press whatever preset you want that station programmed to.

For the buttons you've specifically asked about ~

Band - switches the tuner through your available tuner bands (FM1/2/3 dependent on how many sets of 6 presets that deck has and then AM)

Loc. S(for Local Station) - localizes the tuner sensitivity to decrease bleedover in areas where multiple stations broadcase on close-together frequencies

P. Scan (Program Scan) - will scan through your presets and play a few seconds of each until you touch another button (not sure which one on that deck) to defeat the scanning.

BSM (Best Stations Memory) - Will scan through whatever mode the tuner is in (FM or AM) and automatically program the first 6 strong broadcast signals it comes across into your presets
