  1. #FMDX #MWDX #SWL
    Saturday, I posted Radio Jay Allen's review of the LITEMALADSP/MALAHITEAM MLite-880 portable software defined radio. I hear that because of its complex menu structure with multiple pages, it may not work well as a receiver for a blind person. I posted something on X about this, asking if there were people who are blind using SDR radios, but got no response.
    This portable sounds really neat with adjustable noise blanker, good FM with multiple band width selections and SSB for SW.
    If I find anything else about this, or any other SDR, I'll post here.

  5. Radio Propagation

    "Good" "Strong" tropospheric radio propagation on VHF bands across the southern British Isles and Northen Europe.

    This is my haul over the past two hours from a quick scan of the FM band (map and log courtesy fmlist.org).

  7. #FMDX #MWDX #SWL The XHData D808 arrived last night and here are some quick first impressions.
    FM: Typical DSP portable with good sensitivity and selectivity. With all the hype of its FM, I expected better. The Qudosen DX286 destroys it on FM. Better selectivity with its adjustable filters and the car DX286 chip makes it way more sensitive.
    MW: D808 is a typical DSP portable. It's quite sensitive for its size, but if you have a really strong MW station, the radio's sensitivity decreases the closer you tune to the strong station. If I lived elsewhere, I'd really like its MW performance.
    SW: Seems sensitive with full coverage to 30MHZ. It's a bit slow to activate SSB, but fine tuning works well with tuning knob and fine tuning dial.
    Air band: I have to do more checking.
    LW: same as air.
    Ergonomics: Thumbs down. Frequency button is on the bottom to the left of 0. There's a row of buttons, same size above the numpad.
    It's a keeper. I want a full coverage portable with SSB capability.
