You can't with that particular radio as its more geared for amateur bands and is not a general coverage receiver (i already have one of those).

You CAN listen to a lot of public service radio freqs if you have a "trunking" receiver/scanner. They really aren't that expensive anymore.

I love just sitting at the HF receiver and listening for distant stuff. Playing with the antennas to see how far I can get. Its a shame that all the new fangled tech is shoving shortwave off to the side. When I was a kid I'd spend hours listening to some pretty cool stuff.

I havea recording of a shortwave radio show where some guy was a huge conspiracy nut talking about aliens and stuff. He'd get in the dumbest verbal arguments. It was hilarious.
