Definitely the best sounding DRM station on Shortwave, I'm really not a fan of DRM audio quality but Funklust is just about acceptable, it would be nice if they used a higher bitrate, it would be better again but I suppose Fraunhofer are trying to show off how good it can sound with such little bitrate. Most if not all other DRM stations sound atrocious and so much worse than analogue, at least with analogue when the signal fades you can still hear it and often even with a signal of S9 I am unable to decode any audio this would not be the case with analogue. But the worst thing is the woeful audio quality. I often tried to decode Radio Romania International at S20 and had issues. It's a pity Funklust doesn't transmit on the 49 meter band would be much better for Europe but would require a much larger antenna. They need more power.
Hello my irish friend. Sorry for the late reply. Completely agree with you: really nice sounding radio station. Also good programing. AFAIK it's a college radio, so maybe they have budget or even licensing restrictions that prevent them o broadcast with more power! Also had issues with Romania, France and Saudi Arabia. But it could be the Kiwi radio I was using. Have a great week, and 73s. :)
hello. It sounds very good. There is a Dxer who received this broadcast for a long time in Japan. But I could receive only 0.5 seconds. Thanks for sharing.73s!
