For medium waves, the antenna works wonderfully by induction. You simply place the ferrite core near the tube and turn the variable capacitor to achieve perfect tuning across the entire MW range. I was genuinely amazed by its performance on shortwaves. Despite its small size, the antenna provid...
measured in weeks — but will probably leave you unsatisfied in the long term. My favorite shortwave radio is theTecsun PL660. It’s the one I use most of the time, as it can tune into stations that are just static on many other radios and compares favorably to radios 3 times its ...
You can string up a wire just about anywhere and get a good signal on shortwave. Fifty feet of very fine wire, strung along the ceiling on thumbtacks, will give you much more signal than the telescopic whip that comes with portable radios. Telescopic antennas are way too short for shortwav...
Shop forShortwave Radios here. Introduction Who needs this article?Anyone who is a new shortwave radio listener. Shortwave listening is a bit more complicated than AM or FM radio listening, and satisfactory results depend upon designing and installing a good antenna. ...
The Airspy HF+ and the KiwiSDR are two HF specialty SDR radios. The HF+ advertises excellent dynamic range and sensitivity, whilst the KiwiSDR has it's strength in it's internet connectivity and 30 MHz wide live bandwidth. Over on YouTubeicholakovhas uploaded a video comparing the two SDRs...
The tuning capacitors found in these radios consist of 4 separate variable capacitors (C1 through C4) and each of these capacitors has a trimmer parallel to it. There’s also a convenient tuning wheel attached to the tuning capacitor. You’ll need that also....
Only a small fraction of HF stations broadcast in DRM. SO much more over analog. QRM still gets in the way. And the radios are pricey. True you can’t hear the QRM in the decoded audio (if you can ever ever tune to a station strong enough to receive audio) but the receiver hears...
