whats up with the 79.2 ??
is that AM radio

79.2 is FM (assuming it's in MHz). In Japan, it's part of the FM broadcast band (76-90MHz). Here, it's below the FM broadcast band, in the area where TV channels 2-6 are located (and which will soon disappear, when TV goes digital).

it is when you press the light button, to the left out of view in the picture

medium wave - a radio wave with a wavelength between 100 and 1000 meters (a frequency between 300 kilohertz and 3000 kilohertz)

long wave

A radio wave with a wavelength in excess of 1000 meters.

I believe MW is the same as AM and LW is a shortwave band

MW and LW both use AM (Amplitude Modulation) for general broadcast purposes.

AM is not necessarily 'tied' to any band of frequencies, it's just a system for adding sound to a carrier wave.

Beautiful radio by the way, those photos are superb

That 792 is in KHZ, it's the MW band and the euro channel spacing by the looks of things. (9 khz steps as opposed to the American 10 khz).

Thanks for clearing all of that up, 2Steppa. Dopey me, I didn't even look at the photo when I tried to answer RBJ's question. Hopefully, I would've noticed that there was no decimal in the 792.

 

[2steppa]

I never thought anything of it till I took a closer look!

I think it rang a bell and made me look twice seeing '792' as there's a station on MW in this region on that frequency..

(Classic Gold AM for the Bedford area in case anyone wonders!).
