The radio is a fully analogue double superhet. The type sticker on the back provides you with a world map and mentions the Tropical Band, but without specifying the band limits. The scale does not mention frequencies for this band, and a different range for MW. I measured the band limits and found MW to tune 527 to 1700 kHz, and TB 2.29 to 5.20 MHz.

The pouch has a nice world map, too. I got the radio with leaking (Duracell) batteries with date stamp ten years ago. There was a little corrosion on the battery contacts, but fortunately the radio worked fine immediately after inserting fresh batteries.
