dial setting

English to Spanish Other Media / Multimedia radio
Hi,

In the field of radio, I am trying to translate "Please give call letters or dial setting."
It refers to what radio station a person heard a particular speaker on.

Call letters I have as siglas de identifición, but I am stuck on how to say dial setting.
I am sure I have heard ..... en el dial, but can't remember exactly what it was.

Thank you very much!

frecuencia / largo de onda

The ST is clearly from the age of 'steam radio' (like me...).

The 'call letters' are the 'indicativo de llamada', mientras 'dial setting' could be either the 'frequencia' (en: frequency) and/or the 'largo de onda' (en: wavelength) shown on the tuning control of the receiver. There's a straightforward arithmetic relationship between frequency and wavelength, and some receivers indicate frequency, some show wavelength - and some show both at the same time.
