I read the manual on this and it covers all the meter bands from 2.3
to 26.1 MHz. The Canadian RS has this as "Coming Soon " in their
list of SW radios.
My guess is that anything at that price that does SW, AM/FM, Wx and TV
all in one box would be like the jack of all trades and master of
none.

With only five shortwave bands, there are probably several useful bands

I don't know if there is any standard for what constitutes a 'band' on
a receiver. My FRG 7 has 30 'bands' if you take it at face value.
Nothing I know of says you can't cram the whole 1.7 to 30 mhz spectrum
into one or two or three 'bands' on the dial.

Reminds me of the guy ordering a pizza. The cook asks him if he wants
it cut into four or eight pieces. The guy answers back "Just four..I
don't think I could eat eight"

same thing on the radio
