cuatro bandas de onda corta
Explanation:
The source text means that the receiver has four short-wave frequency ranges, not that those ranges necessarily correspond to any specific broadcast frequency bands (a single 'range' on the receiver may cover two or three short-wave broadcast frequency bands - e.g. the 11 and 15-m bands).

Source: 5 years' employment (way back in the 1970's...) with 'la BBC de Londres', working on BBC World Service transmitting stations.
