Default New shortwave radio, some questions

I bought this SW radio on sharperimage.com, and it was delivered just
now,
http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/ca...uct/sku__CT800

and have a question about tunning. It won't go past 26.10MHz. When I
try to enter in a number bigger than that I get an error. How can I
get it to display the KHz stations. When I hold the radio a certain
way I can see it says KHz, but it won't actually display KHz, only MHz.
It also shows a decimal point, but the book says to ignore it when
entering a station. Also I can see AIR, LW and MARINE when
I hold the radio a certain way. All that I know it gets is AM/FM/SW/TV
and weather bands, the book says nothing about MARINE bands. Also it
says in the book,
A ferrite rod AM antennais located inside the unit. Position the unit
to recieve the best AM reception.
AM: 10kHz
FM: 200KhZ
SW: 5kHz
TV: CH 1
WX: 25kHz
What does this mean? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to
figure all this out.

Thanks, Justin
