I must be getting older. Now, when I watch a 007 James Bond flick, Ms. Moneypenny is even looking more attractive.

Admittedly I do not do much with MW BCB, but yeah, I have used the feature for using an external antenna for MW with my PL-330.

The PL-880 also has a similar feature.  The magic key presses extend the shortwave band down to the 540 KHz.  Just be careful, the Tecsun radios tend to overload.
