This is the portable radio that, unlike typical shortwave models, also receives longwave broadcasts. Operating at 150-285 kHz, longwave signals are used by those interested in low-frequency experimental radio (LowFER) communications as well as ITU Region 1 broadcasters in Europe and as far away as Mongolia. The radio also operates in the shortwave band (1711 kHz - 30 MHz) with single-sideband (SSB) tuning for listening to two-way shortwave communications. In addition to AM/FM reception, it can listen to civilian aircraft radio transmissions in the 117-137 MHz frequency band. Stores up to 700 favorite stations. Includes telescoping antenna. Powered by included AC adapter or requires four AA batteries. 6 1/2" H x 4" W x 1 1/4" D. (12 oz.)
