What does it use for the database? Is it SQL based? I have some people who might be able to help.

No, each logging / record is separate in the database so you can't edit multiples at once. I did look at adding this in but the database would not work that way.

When you select edit, it asks if you want to update this. You can then edit any of the fields you want.

Update: 06/08/2021

I have updated my code to also include the signal level in the formula for working out the ULDXIndex number and added an option to only update this when you want to, before this it would prompt you to update the values every time you edited a record.

How do you track that over such a long period of time? Have you been on the group since the start?

It is great to see the group so active and have some new life breathed in to it.



 

 

 

So based on that, you are not that happy with it? How do you connect your aerial to it? Have you tried it in outdoors and away from the mains?

Subject: Re: [UltralightDX] Retekess V-115 FM/AM/SW Radio Review – July 2021

Twenty Days In:

Over the weekend I was able to undertake some more side by side testing of this radio. I ran some tests with both my AR-1733 and TEAC PR130 against this radio. Using both the internal aerials and also trying it with my 3" FSL, the results were not great. Basically the V-115 suffers badly from both internally generated noises across the band and it also picks up weird noises from other household appliances. Using 3GG on 531kHz as a reference station, the V-115 performed the worst out of the three radios, even with the use of my 3" FSL, it still struggled to pull in much of a signal on this frequency. Going across the band and checking a number of other stations, the results were sadly repeated. The 3" FSL seems to cause a number of issues with the V-115 being unable to handle this. My TEAC PR130 overall performed better and handled the 3" FSL easily.

 

My AR-1733 is easily the best performed out of the three and I will be using this as my main DX'ing radio from now on. The recorder in the V-115 will still be used at times, mainly with the line-in feature.

Those are some good indexes, will you be updating them all to what I assume is your new scoring system?

These were logged between 7:45pm and 8:30pm at home, using my AR-1733 and 3" FSL. I was targeting a mix of lower power stations and a couple of South Australian stations which I had not logged in a while.

The really astronomical indexes come from low-powered Longwave aeronautical beacons (NDB's) received at ranges over 10,000 km across the equator. 362-WK in Whakatane, New Zealand (25 watts at 11,017 km from Manzanita, Oregon) results in a wacky index of 440.68, while 366-SF in Springfield, New Zealand (50 watts at 10,977 km from Manzanita, Oregon) results in a more modest 219.54.

The best medium wave DX index at the same Rockwork Cliff would be for reception of 558-7BU in Burnie, Tasmania, Australia during the August 2017 DXpedition. That 2,000 watt station was received at 13,128 km from Manzanita, for a very modest index of 6.56.
