LW comparisons of tge Sangean ATS-909's
Переглядів 7773 роки тому
Here we look at the comparison using Cowra NDB which is aprox 100 kms from my QTH again daylight propogation. Receivers are the 909X, later version of the 909, the original 909 and then the Radiolabs modified 909. I think you'll agree, the second version of the 909 (silver) out performs the others although the 908X is very close. Only the internal ferrite rods used in this test. Hope you enjoy.

I'm doing a series of brief video comparisons of a Radiolabs modified Realistic DX398 and the original Sangean ATS-909 and an early version of the 909X. Many thanks go to John Volpato from the Australian Radio DX Club Inc for the loan of the modified DX398. Hope you enjoy despite the average camera work.

      @@glennvanderbusse4137 Hi Glenn, the radio is an excellent performer for a small receiver. I know of a few other who have them and they are also impressed with them. I'd be surprised if you're disappointed if you get one. Good luck with it. Grundig released radios well into the 90's with the Satellit 700 being the last. China took over the name and produced radios for Eton in the USA. Some are reasonable radios. I hope you enjoy your radio if you get one. Cheers..... Phil

    G'day Phil how's it going buddy. 8:46 into the video you're referring to the "buzzing" noise when in Side Band? That station you heard was not an Amateur station so SSB mode will sound strange, it is a Broadcast station. For SSB to work effectively, you need to enable it when you come across a station where it sounds like "Donald Duck" or "a mouth full of socks". It may not be a radio problem, I'm thinking your radio runs normal. Any issues let me know and I'll be glad to help 👍

      @@AirwolfBadarse Hi, thanks for your comments. The "warbling" and other distortions are also heard on SSB signals irrespective on how accurately you tune the signals. Sometimes stronger signals aern't too bad. I suspect there could be an electrolytic capacitor installed backwards in the SSB demodulator. Otherwise the radio is good. Cheers

Look guys NO RADIO on Earth is GREAT. it is a SWL radio and with a few mods here and there it does pretty good. I like my 2 as they perform pretty good.

    Nice Video !!!You have noise on the 2000 cause the receiver is in wide mode when on the 7730 Khz freq test.I never use Wide on the unit its way to wide other channels bleed in and more atmospheric noise too.I have both radios and many more and to me there pretty equal the 2000 is more sensitive across all bands slightly but the strong point is the MW on the 2000 is very very good with the rotating ferrite . Also ability to actually use a outdoor antenna on the 2000 that disconnects the internal MW antenna is a huge plus.Also a great LW radio on out door antenna maybe the best portable LW/MW DXer still made even today as the eton 750.
