February 18, 2024 Afternoon Listening Session --
Listening whilst doing an hour-long GPS RINEX logging, I got some surprising distances on SW. It started with 12,000 kms to New Zealand! Station frequency and time is given for each station in video.
0:22 NZ 12,170 km
0:51 Brazil 10,458 km
1:20 China 8,663 km
2:06 Thailand 11,478 km
2:48 China 10,703 km
3:19 China 9,522 km
3:47 Brazil, music 9,031 km
4:37 Kashi Saibagh, China 9,763 km

Even if we didn't know you were in Alberta, we could geolocate you quite precisely with these data points!

@FiveEars 7 месяцев назад

True. But if you could geoguess based on the backpacks, park bench, sun angle at 00:00 UTC, and snow type [!] a la Rainbolt, then I'd be impressed 😂

@remopkr198 8 месяцев назад

this is a special radio

@RSears 8 месяцев назад

It has its drawbacks. Fit and finish leave a lot to be desired when compared to XHDATA and Tecsun. Cost is high. BUT, but it does receive well 😁

@@RSearsnow the Qodosen DX-286 is out on the market a reasonable facsimile of the SR-286 but somewhat cheaper!

@RSears 2 месяца назад

Yup. Got one. Looks the same, but for the interface routines.

Where di you buy this? I don't see it on Amazon

@RSears 8 месяцев назад

True. It was available on aliexpress.com. Worked. Didn't take too long.

@mooninthewater3705 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, interesting. Is there "chuffing" when you tune?

@RSears 6 месяцев назад

It has soft muting. On auto (scan) it goes deaf. On 10Hz or 1Hz tuning changes the radio mutes as well, but only momentarily.

I'm holding out for a new model with SSB mode.

@RSears 7 месяцев назад

Wouldn't that be sweet. There is so much one could do to improve the SR-286.

@@RSears People more knowledgeable about radio DSP chips than I am claim that it can't support SSB. The fact that the generic TEF6686-based aluminum case radios don't support SSB either is a hint, because these have an open-source firmware. Too bad, because it would be really great and make the steep price of this radio more bearable. It's still a great receiver, which often outperforms some of the best ones like the D-808 or PL-330.

@RSears 7 месяцев назад

Isn't that interesting. I will have to dig up the data sheet on this chip. Thanks for passing this along. Wouldn't that be sad if this was essentially the end of the progress line?

@RSears 7 месяцев назад

The chip doesn't support SSB, but that doesn't preclude adding SSB demodulation to a TEF6686/7 radio: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qptoMJ4OE7E.html
