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 Corporation 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 indi-
vidual addresses on it.
12 UNDERSTANDING SHORTWAVE BANDS continued
Think of a shortwave band as you would a street with
a full range of individual addresses on it, each address
is a specic 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 different shortwave radio station.
