The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the National Radio Club and International Radio Club of America are sad to announce that it appears WNJC 1360 will leave the air for good shortly. This news

Same to all of you. I hope to continue to enjoy radios and this group this year.

The same to you and all the other group members. I am not sure where 2023 will take me as far as this hobby goes, it might be a year that I take some time away. Paul

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy DXing! JR

I heard WCGA! Sweet! Merry Christmas everyone! JR

The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the National Radio Club and International Radio Club of America wants to remind DXers that late tonight will be the Christmas Eve DX Test for WCGA 1100 in

I am not sure if this has been posted, but reading this thread I discovered my D-808 also has a hiss at "0" Volume. You have to stick your ear up to the speaker to hear it and it is barely audible

Mine doesn't...it is fine in this respect. Jay

I forgot to ask if the SSB2 you received still has the popping when tuning or changing bands that 'todderbert' mentioned in his video. I strongly suspect it has been eliminated or, since you use

This is my first post even though I have enjoyed reading all the posts for a long time. I am a MW dxer and participate in Loyd's Dx Central every week which is a lot of fun! The Crane SSB 2 has been

IMO, a tempest in a teacup. My “Hot-Rodded” XHDATA 808 and CCRane Skywave SSB have captured lots of MW DX that my Drake R8B never heard. I plan to order the CCRane CC Skywave SSB 2 later today.

This residual hiss is there but not a problem in my estimation. On my sample I can hear the hiss from the speaker only if I am very close to the radio...about a foot or so away it fades to nothing and

Phil - thanks for the thoughtful reply. The hiss does not directly interfere with copy, but it is noticeably ever present and requires me to turn up the volume above the noise floor more than desired.

I recently bought a UK  internet radio that uses  Shoutcast. Outstanding. and good value.  But the BBC intersperses programming with the ominous message that in 2023  BBC radio will be phased out.

You paid something like $200 for that thing. You should not be bothered by a hiss that they could not have missed when it was still at the early testing phase. There is no excuse for shipping the

I guess I would ask, how bad is it? Is it bad enough to interfere with copy in normal use? I know we would prefer that the radio is dead silent at min volume, but how would it effect you when using
