Good quality copy.
Here in San Diego most of what I copy is much noisier.
What is your location? (Southeast US I'm guessing.)
What was the frequency and time of reception?
Did you use software that came with the rx320?

The rx320 looks like pretty nice radio. A clever and
good quality design.

I'm in Brooklyn, NY. Reception was in the early evening on 8502 khz.
I've been using RxPlus control software rather than the software that
came with the receiver. RxPlus was on sale for $50 recently, and may
still be.

The RX-320 is a great radio, in my opinion it runs circles around many
more expensive receivers I have owned. Only drawback is the PC noise
but once you isolate it from the noise, you got a great radio. I had
one of these a few years ago and I am in the market for one again.

The weather here is quite windy,been like that since morning.David
Hartman,tv weather guy,said in about an hour and a half,it's going to
get even rougher around here when that mess crosses the Mississippi
River and hits the Jackson area.He is usually right too.
There was a tornado at Mclean,Texas and another one at Dumars,Arkansas
and some houses were damaged in Leflore County,Oklahoma.David Hartman
pointed to the map thingy on tv and said,look at that lightning counter!
Nothing scares me worse than tornados. cuhulin

I've never had any computer noise problems with the 320. The radio sits
four or five feet away from the monitor and has a coax feed coming in
from the outside. Nor has a Kenwood R2000 sitting next to it had any
issues. Even the dated FRG 7 has remained noise free. I

t must either be a very quiet computer, or the noise issue isn't as bad
in most cases as has been reported.

Halifax is my favorite station. They have such a wide variety of
charts compared to the US stations.

I'm in Brooklyn, NY.


Greetings from the other side of the US.

Reception was in the early evening on 8502 khz.


Cool. s7 in socal now at 07:00 UTC. A bit more
noise than your copy and with QSB, but a pretty good
signal.

I've been using RxPlus control software rather than the software that
came with the receiver. RxPlus was on sale for $50 recently, and may
still be.


I googled it. Looks like a good program.
