Shortwave Broadcast / KCBS Pyongyang 2850 kHz 12/30/14 at 2140z via GT

« on: December 30, 2014, 2142 UTC »

Globaltuners catch from Hong Kong, hearing the usual female propaganda stuff. Kim is Love, Kim is Life haha.

I just thought of this, why do they even have SW radio from 2350kHz- 6100? They barely propagate well, and plus no one in the DPRK have radios, not to mention shortwave radios!

General Radio Discussion / Got my new Tecsun PL660!

« on: December 25, 2014, 2133 UTC »

Love it, absolutely love this radio!

Just two qualms.
1. Lack of choice for bandwidth. Either wide or narrow. But it's not a major deal. I wish they gave me choices like on the PL380.
2. Overmodulation on FM signals. For instance, I'd tune to a local FM and put the sensitivity on local. Let's say I went to 93.3 FM. I would have to tune it 93.33 FM to get it clearly with good audio. But hey, that's not too bad either.

Besides that, I love this radio and recommended it to anyone

P.S- It does a great job with SSB as well!
