« on: March 08, 2020, 0609 UTC »
8 MARCH 2020:  I got the GP-5/SSB about a week ago and thought I'd try out the ETM feature  on the MW band.    Launched the ETM search and came up with quite a few hits. Internal antennas, nothing external. Just a few logs:

650 KHZ  0424  UTC "PHANTOM 309".  WSM. Nashville TN.  466 miles

700 KHZ 0431 UTC   ID Sports talk focusing on some running back "Essex Johnson"   WLW Cincinnati OH  324 miles

UNID 990 KHZ. 0508 UTC. A variety of songs but all were Caribbean music with French vocals. Interestingly, had  an English speaking YL announcer.    Lost signal completely @ 0521 UTC.  Never caught an ID but presumably either CBC out of Winnipeg, Manitoba or (here's a long shot) CBOF out if Maniwaki, Quebec.

1020 KHZ 0525 UTC. "RadioShows" infomercial for classic radio shows.   Then intro of old DRAGNET radio shows. ID @ 05:31 followed by news block.   KDKA   Pittsburgh, PA    463 miles

SDR - Software Defined Radio / SDR recommendation......
« on: February 09, 2020, 2003 UTC »
....for an SDR compatible with MAC BOOK AIR running MAC OS HIGH SIERRA Version 10.13.6.  Just doing a little research there seems to be an extraordinary amount of problems with SDR/MAC capability.  I'm looking in the $200-$300 Range.
Thanks.
