On the dial scale of the Goodmans Module 150 there are four 'bands'. The top one is marked 'Channel' and the scale is marked from 5 to 55 (1 to c65 in practise). The other three bands being FM, M and L that are all switch selectable. As there does not appear to be any way of switching in this 'Channel' band, I am struggling to see what it is? There's no mention of it in the user manual from what I can see. Maybe it's an 'aide memoire' for users to have a list of their favourite stations on a separate piece of paper allowing them to more quickly tune in to them by simply tuning to the appropriate 'Channel' number and of course firstly pressing the associated waveband button. Saying that, there's already 8 presets for FM, so to some extent it would counter productive - at least on FM it would when you can just press a button instead of spinning a tuning knob and carefully tuning in. Does anyone know for sure what this 'Channel' band is?
