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.
If you want to listen to a particular SW station, the precise frequency and wavelength need to be known. Many short wave stations will send broadcasting schedules which give the information required. This information is also available on the Internet.
Connecting the external SW antenna
To improve short wave reception the external SW antenna supplied can be connected.
