The radio has three bands: long wave (770 to 2000 meters), medium wave (188 to 580 meters) and short wave (19.2 to 51.7 meters) The radio has multiple antennas. In the detachable rear wall it has a frame antenna which is connected to the radio by means of a two-pin connector. This antenna is used for medium wave reception. The folding loop antenna (pictured right) is used for receiving short wave. An internal ferrite antenna is used for reception on long wave.
