Montgomery Ward GEN-1476A Review
This is an older shortwave radio which may have been manufactured during the 1970s. In addition to shortwave, it also receives two police bands, AM, FM, CB, VHF aircraft, and the weather band. Shortwave is split into two parts, the Marine Band (1.6-4MHz) and 4-12MHz. There is a good telescoping antenna, but no external antenna jack.
