shown here. Look at your radio’s tuning scale or digital display (or owner’s manual) to determine which frequency designation it uses in shortwave. Most radios use the abbreviations KHz and MHz. On some shortwave radios these frequencies will look like 15100 KHz, 15105 KHz or 15110 KHz, but on other radios they might look like this: 15.1 MHz, 15.105 MHz or 15.11 MHz. That’s because some radios show frequencies as kilohertz and others show the frequencies as mega- hertz, as in the accompanying table. The exact frequency ranges for these bands may vary somewhat from one radio model to another. This is perfectly OK. On some radios the bands are clearly marked, on others they are not marked at all. If it is not apparent how to get into a band on your radio, consult the owner’s manual, the Etón Corpora- tion web site (www.etoncorp.com) or contact Etón Corporation and we’ll show you how this is done for your model.

A helpful analogy: a shortwave band is like a street with many individual addresses on it.

Think of a shortwave band as you would a street with a full range of individual addresses on it, each address is a specific frequency. The 19 meter band could be called 19 Meter Street. As on any street, we have a range of addresses encompassing individual house numbers such as 15100, 15105, 15110, etc., each of these house numbers representing an individual house that you could visit on the street. In the 19 meter shortwave band, these ‘addresses’ or ‘house numbers’ are called frequencies and on each frequency you might visit a differ- ent shortwave radio station.
