Presets are not adjustable hence the term preset. Number 1 is the user tuned frequencies and are the only ones adjustable. If you have number one selected than that is what you will hear until you push the button again and #2 becomes selected. and if you are listening to the radio than you can program each station to a separate EQ setting by tuning in the station you want and pushing in the button you want it tuned to and hold the button until you hear the beep. For instance you can tune button 1 to 93.5 and EQ setting 3 and button number 2 to 101.9 and EQ setting 4 and they will stay that way until you reprogram the buttons on the radio. So with that said I am guessing that what you are listening too is programmed for EQ setting 2 and not 1. If you reprogram that station to EQ setting 1 than it will be EQ 1. Am I making any sense?
