New DRM receiver available
I would hope that it covers more than the standard MW range - I'm
still waiting for a reply. Haven't seen any reviews at all for it yet - I'd be interested in finding out its performance! There's a slightly different version of their specs sheet on their website (little difference apart from it being marked as v2.0): http://www.codingtechnologies.com/pr...aveller_v2.pdf ...Francis |

Hi,
I finally got a reply from Coding Technologies just a few mintues ago: "the freq ranges are 88-108 MHz FM and 150-29999 kHz AM/DRM" Sounds good to me! :) Regards, ...Francis I would hope that it covers more than the standard MW range - I'm still waiting for a reply.

I don't know that much about DRM, but my understanding is that stations either come in very clearly or not at all. In other words, if there's a really distant station, you can't dig it out of the mud and just have to write it off. Is that correct? If so, I don't think I'd want a DRM receiver. But again, I could be wrong about this. Steve |

Steve SD, Good 'old fashion' (Tried-and-True) "Analog" AM International Broadcasting {Long Distance} may have it's FADE and Weak Signals. - Remember Analog Celphones ? DRM "Digital" AM Broadcasting AM International Broadcasting {Long Distance} has it's Signal Drop-Off. - Its Here (Can be Heard) "Great Sound" and then Its Gone [.] - Think of Digital Celphones ! DRM may be good and useful for In-Country 1000 Mile Broadcasting; but for "Around-the-World" International Broadcasting it offers no real advantage in Punching the Signal Through and Getting Heard. NOTE: Single Side Band (SSB) Transmissions do a better 'energy efficent' job and has a real advantage in Punching the Signal Through and Getting Heard. The Most Cost-Effective-Method and the Trend for Governments and 'others' who want to get their Message-Out to the Masses of other Countries will continue to be Internet Broadcasting "On-Demand" Streaming Audio that is THERE when the Listener Whats to Hear It; and Host Country Re-Broadcasting via 'local' AM and FM Band Radios; or via "In-Country" Shortwave Relays. ssi ~ RHF .. .. |
