Good catch on Iran during that part of the day, I've never been able
to get Iran during this time. Can you program memories in the 750 but then access them from the "page 20" by just pressing an up/down button or a scan button? The one disadvantage on storing memories on the Grundig G6 is you got to enter the memory bank (1-99) then a number from 1-7 to access them, and then repeat for each one. It's just easier for me on the G6 to enter the freq directly. Was it you also that mentioned you store frequency banks based on UTC time of the transmissions? Great idea |

Great idea Yes, I was very surprised to get Iran at all, let alone at that time of day ! ! Yes, you can scan the memories in any Page. If you are listening, say to FM band and want to check Page 20 SW entries, press vm/vf button on lower right and it will put you in memory mode. If page 5, say, shows at top right on say preset 9, all you have to do is press "Page " button, page no. will flash and using up/down buttons scroll to page 20 and press vm/vf button and voila you are in page 20. A preset will show (if previously entered) then to scan all presets in that Page press and hold "Up" or "Down" buttons and after a second or so the scan will start with a pause then after 5 sec. will scan to next preset and then stop for 5 seconds then resume scan, etc. You can also go from preset to preset by rotating the tuning knob or use the Up/Down buttons. To get out of Memory mode, press vm/vf button and you will return to your last tuned frequency. To stop scan just momentarily press up or down button. Note, when in Memory Page, time will not show, but a quick press of VM/ VF button will show time, if you want to check it, then another press of vm/vf will return to your chosen page and preset. I know this may sound a bit complicated, but once you have done the procedure a few times it becomes easy to manipulate memories, and it becomes intuitive. I use "Page" numbers to indicate UTC time Page 01 for 0100 UTC to 0200UTC, Page 2 for 0200...UTC, etc. The 750 lacks Sync tuning and SSB uses a VFO knob to fine tune stations. But overall I find this radio to be a steal at 299 bucks. Others will probably disagree, but I don't care. I'm having a great time with this powerful radio, it has improved my enjoyment of SW Radio immensely. I have a Grundig G5 portable, and tho I hate to say it, the 750 blows it away. But G5 is half the price, and a good radio. Another nice feature of the 750 is if you want to direct enter a frequency in any mode, simply punch in the numbers and immediately you are there. No press of "enter" before or after. I can highly recommend the 750. To utilise its capabilities to the fullest a good outdoor antenna is necessary but it is very good also just using the whip antenna. I've rambled on here for perhaps too long, but I hope the above info will be of help. So will say 73s for now, and ... Good Listening from SW4ever. |
