Special features of SW reception

Short wave reception

Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. It is easy to get used to tuning to stations in the FM, MW and LW bands, since they are always on the same frequencies.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to atmospheric conditions, short wave stations must frequently broadcast on different wavelengths. Most short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts, shipping, aircraft and radio navigation systems.
