Hello all,
I recently purchased an RCA Victor radio, model A-20. It has an AM, FM (doesn't work, radio dates to 1940), and a shortwave band. However, I do not understand how to read the numbers on the shortwave band. Instead of showing the megahertz, eg. 1550 mHz, etc., the numbers just range from 7 at the left, and 22 on the right. The shortwave band works great, but I don't understand how to know what frequency I am at since these numbers are just 7-22. Can someone please explain this to me, as I am very new to radios. Thank you so much!
