KHz, the FM band is 88-108 MHz. A band is simply a frequency range where stations are located. When you look for stations in these "bands", you simply tune around until you find a station you like. Shortwave is similar, and the shortwave bands have names like 25 meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc. These are abbreviated 25m, 31m and 49m. Just like in AM and FM radio, one simply gets into the shortwave band and tunes around, looking for stations. For example, the 19 meter shortwave band encompasses the frequency range of 15100 to 15600 kilohertz. Here is a list of the shortwave bands used for international broadcasts and their corresponding frequencies. Since some radios show frequency in megathertz and some in kilohertz, both are shown here.
