Great video, again! As I am in the market for a new scanner, my old and trusted Realistic Pro 2005 has finally bitten the dust. (Purchased from Tandy! Cannot remember when) This scanner allowed me to listen to the airband, marine band, amateur radio bands and also the vhf broadcast bands, that modern scanners do not. Does the ATS 20+ receive the airbands? I do not think it has a programmable memory, although I can still read the frequency displays. Thanks for another great video!
@CB-RADIO-UK
@CB-RADIO-UK 2 месяца назад
Hi. No airband I am afraid. These little 20's are not really a suitable as a scanner and wont give you VHF. Right now i would say one of these radios is the best for that side of things. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xmdqjA02NQc.html

Oh well, it looks like spending some real money on the latest scanner and also on a FM broadcast radio. My old Realistic Pro 2005, (400 channels), died a couple of month ago and cannot be repaired. Have to try and get one from Ebay. Got into CB in the 70's in Germany (In the Army). Listened to the local police on a Pye Westminster, which had been modified. Took the RAE in 1986. Have been a semi active ham since.

Thanks for the video Fred. I've played around with SDRSharp and want to look into getting an inexpensive physical SDR, though regrettably cannot have a permanent antenna in my shared garden. I thought a loop antenna might be a perfect compromise (and one I could sometimes take outside) but a lot of posters on Reddit have told me that it would be no better than a whip antenna. Would you recommend the loop in such a situation?
@CB-RADIO-UK
@CB-RADIO-UK 4 месяца назад
I ve just fully tested the loop. Straight performance such as pure gain its prob no better than a whip. However as it works on such a narrow bandwidth you can tune out a lot of noise. So if you have a lot of noise at home then it could be the answer.

It looks like that IC you pointed out on the 20+ might be mounted on the bottom of the 20. There's solder pads for it that appear to have solder on them. Although how they are able to invert it is beyond me. Would be interesting to see the bottom of both boards.

Fred in the Shed both the ATS20+ and the Raddy RF750 which you made a video on your channel i have bought, but withg the ATS20+ i have so few radio station where with the rf750 i can find many radio stations. I could tell people to stay away from the arduino based ats20+ radios they are no good. Also i have seen the same thing on your radio fred the battery only charges to 80% while it has been charged untill the green light got lit! If you wanna buy a computer based radios you can better go with the ones that are more expensive like the SDR receivers like the MALACHIT or other brands! But still fred thanks for sharing this video!
@CB-RADIO-UK
@CB-RADIO-UK 4 месяца назад
I agree with you on the battery level. Even after a full charge it drops to 80%. However i am not sure the meter is all that accurate as it stays on 80% for a long time. The Raddy RF750 does work well. For £30 though this radio does bring in a lot of stations. Thanks for the comment.

@@CB-RADIO-UK On the battery....you know it is very easy to add your own removable 18650 inside the ATS20, if you need it. Plenty of room. Many thanks for the updated video, Fred. I still love my standard ATS20 but have very much appreciated using Ricardo's firmware updates to them, plus modifying the software myself to include a full band.

Hey Fred , I got my radio today , could not believe how small it was ? Quick question for you ? Where does shortwave start and finish ? On the unit they just have AM it does not say if your SW or AM . Thanks buddy .
@CB-RADIO-UK
@CB-RADIO-UK 3 месяца назад
Hi. Glad you like your radio. SW is all on AM for the broadcast band. Shortwave runs from about 3000 KHz to about 25000 KHz. You will find most stations between 8000 - 12000 during the daytime. Some higher in the eve. This might help. ccrane.com/shortwave-frequency-list/

P.S. - I thought it picked up stations very well with the telescoping antenna....last edit. while listening to you I checked it Amazon and it's selling for $45 USD which is a good price.

You say you don't understand why they use old USB mini ports and haven't integrated the programming and the charging port but when you opened it up it shows EXACTLY why. They haven't integrated them because they used pre-made modules. They bought a Nano and a TP4056 module off the shelf to stick onto their board and didn't bother to have to design anything related to USB. They saved themselved quite a lot of headache and money by doing that. And the Nanos are clones. "Nano" isn't the branding, "Arduino" is. "Arduino Nano" is printed on the bottom of the official boards. Neither word appears on the top of the official boards.
