If you notice on your dial scale, it tells what each band is 
1 - Long wave - 150-390 kc - not much down here.
2 - Standard Broadcast - The normal AM band.
3 - Police, Amateur, Tropical SW - You'll find some tropical shortwave on the high end of this band (around 5 mc) at night. Police departments have long since abandoned these frequencies in favor of VHF and UHF frequencies.
4 - Shortwave - All of the usual SW bands are crowded into this fourth band on your set.
