I like old stuff and I want to get into hearing some talk radio outside of my

Hi

I'm not familiar with that radio, but I'd avoid it.

He calls it a shortwave radio, but it's a four band, and he mentions
covering AM, FM, VHF and PSB.

If it got shortwave frequencies, I'd expect one of the bands he named to
be "sw", or "hf".
