The loop was 15 minutes and 0.5 sec in length, ending with a legal ID. (I'm 45 minutes away from the transmitter site and recorded it.) So you have at least 3 complete copies of it! Formatchange.com h

I've learned from long experience, going back to Usenet newsgroups, to avoid getting wrapped up in meta-threads. Even so, I wanted to mention something recent. This group has clued me into some good r

@Drifter - I have both the North American version of the DT-800 and the European version. The European version doesn't have the North American weather band (162.40-55 MHz) and FM de-emphasis is set fo

I wonder if it still has the low-pass filter that rolls off at about 13.6 kHz. Doesn't really affect AM modes but some sharp-eared people might find this bothersome on FM.

Thanks, all. @Drifter - your findings are consistent with what I was getting in the southeastern Netherlands near Eindhoven, though there was electrical interference giving me trouble for Radio Luxemb

I'm currently on vacation in France for the first time in four years and brought along my Sangean made Roberts 925 radio for longwave reception. In the past I've been able to get France Inter on 162 w

I'm not great at self-promotion, but here we go with my perspective on this radio: http://www.cosmos-monitor.com/radios/tivdio-v115.html

In the middle of the U.S., 1070 is a very messy frequency at night. KHMO Hannibal, MO; WDIA Memphis, TN (a legendary station); KFTI (formerly KFDI) Wichita, KS; KNTH Houston, TX all have nighttime dir

This radio originally came out as the Tivdio V-115 and has gone by numerous other names. This page has extensive information about this model: https://www.qsl.net/n9ewo/v115.html I have a Tivdio V-115

I have the DR-05X as well as one of its predecessors, the DR-07. They are very similar in recording capabilities. One thing that threw me when starting to use the DR-05X was that there was no attenuat

Michael - Experience with car radios is a pretty limited set - a Prius (I was not the primary driver of that car) and an Audi A4 (the car I drive regularly). The Audi came with HD reception disabled;

The original purpose of FM translators was essentially the same as for TV translators. However, FM translators in the United States were much more restricted. Commercial FM stations can't own a transl

Totally agreed about the drain from the digital clock. The XHDATAs that I have require recharging every two to three weeks even if they are not otherwise used. That's why I think there's a problem. Th

162.55 was indeed the first weather-band channel, with 162.40 as an alternate. I have a Zenith Royal 92 "Weather Commander" AM/FM radio from 1968 (American-made, probably in Chicago) and it can tune t

Hola, Jorge - The situation in the United States is not one that would indicate that HD is the future of radio. In the San Francisco Bay Area, one of our two National Public Radio stations has turned

Thanks, Jay (and all). I have suspected that for some time. However, I keep reading the glowing reviews of the XHDATA which do not mention this problem at all. When I change out batteries, I do see va

I prefer over-the-ear headphones...but have also found that Apple EarPods work well for me. I generally don't like earbuds, but the Apple ones have decent sound and, most important, can actually stay

The 18650 batteries that came with my XHDATA D-808 radios (2 of them) have turned out to be lousy. Even when the radios are not in use, they discharge very rapidly. This is true even though I have tri

"still sports the best LCD display technology that the 1990s can offer" -- haha! It's hard to find AM stations broadcasting in HD. There are none in the San Francisco Bay Area, for example. KCBS (740

It's a good radio: my quibble with it is that the threshold for FM stereo reception is set rather high. For example, you might get stereo reception on a Tecsun model (or some other model) but the Sang
