Oscar,

You are correct. The decal on the radio actually says 'POL' for police band for the center position, but it is the 1.5 Mhz to 3.5 Mhz band.

By the way, I have a very nice 40-190 I use regularly in the living room here. I always thought that cabinet style was one of the nicest for the 1940 model year.
