European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Radio Merlin Int. 6305 off the air 29 Jul 2020

New subject.
My last report on 29 Jul 2020 that was the beginning of the thread,
had 320 views. Of course, those many views were for the 'off air' reason.

Normally, that thread should be moved to an other forum. Waiting for a while...

Equipment / Re: IC-7300 as a SWL receiver

« on: August 01, 2020, 1254 UTC »

It’s pretty hard to buy a new radio today that is a poor performer.  The performance differences between the high end radios are pretty much at the point that they can only be seen in laboratory tests.  Even the $100-200 SDR radios deliver more performance than most can use.

Agree. But it's pretty easy to buy or build an antenna that is a poor performer. The antenna (and the place) is much more important than the receiver, once a receiver has a good frequency reading. Beware, though, to the older synthesized receivers, some had a poor synthesized LO.
