Thank you for this video. I have had a D808 for 3 years. I recently had an accident with it and the telescopic aerial broke. I bought a replacement radio , with the yellow display like yours. it is the best value for shortwave listening available today. You will also get great reception on MW and FM. Good luck.
@@dave10524 Hi again. In my case it was the result of my being tired and forgetting that the telescopic aerial on the D808 does not retract into the radio but folds over! This is the result of having different radios with different types of telescopic aerials. However, you are right about the D808's aerial. The screw in the case at the base of the aerial had a tendancy to work loose and I used to carry a screwdriver with me when I took the radio on holiday. Its still a favourite radio of mine. 73s and GDX.
@@jimgordon1563 Yes mine was constantly loosening eventually the bit of plastic between the screw head and the threaded tab on the antenna disintegrated
3413khz is stronger here than the other volmets I think there is another frequency for Shannon volmet daytime which is 5505khz USB and an RAF one which is 5450khz USB, there is more but these 3 are the volmets on the lower numbers!
Just bought one - how do you turn the radio off? I know it’s supposed to be intuitive but I find it confusing - the instruction booklet does not give much information - would appreciate help - thank you
hello allow me a question ... how do you remove the word "timer" on the display? it always remains even if the automatic switch-off timer is NOT set after a few minutes .. thanks for your attention!
@@glennsagario4673 I tried with the reset but it does NOT work ... it seems NOT to reset anything, the memorized stations for example remain in their place ... also tried removing the battery ....
Hello! Thanks for the review! Do you have the old version with the plastic feet on bottom? Or new with rubber ones? Upd ah I see, plastic! This is old version then, it differs from what they sell now.
Hello all. Can any other users of this radio confirm something for me? The screen on my radio displays the timer icon all the time. I noticed in this video yours is also displayed but in other videos it's not visible. Does anyone know of a way to turn this off? Also As mentioned further down the comments resetting this radio does not seem to wipe the memories etc, can anyone conform for me that this is normal behaviour for this radio? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
hello .. I confirm that the timer does NOT deactivate even the timere is actually set to off .. I tried to do the rest and remove the battery but the stored channels remain .... maybe you need to reset and then remove the battery for a long time, so I haven't tried it yet ...
@@guidomanfre Thanks Guido. It might be a change to the radio or firmware. I only see a couple of the radios on youtube with the timer icon still on. I've sent an email to the company to enquire. ( XHDATA) I'll let you know if I get a reply.
The battery is not very good.I replaced mine with a 3000ma & all the lines shown up on the battery/charge display for a short while, I dont think it has the same quality as Tecsun models.
I think you have dodgy battery my battery last days and the battery life is very very good! It's lithium so maybe your radio has dodgy battery that was defective 🤔

My antenna broke as well , not an accident , it is a weak point in the design

New OEM antennae from XHData are like $8 on their website.
Thanks for the nice review! I can listen to the Shannon Volmet (3.413 mhz USB) even here in the south of france 😀!

This receiver is a small Big receiver for DXing! Thank you, Sir for sharing. 73
It's a good radio for the size and money 👍
lol, “Ok, I’m just gonna do a quick review on this radio”
Goes on for an hour and 17 minutes
Excellent video, though!
Waiting for mine to arrive..😊
Great Radio
This radio has side band reception as I seen on the video, thats very useful for forgein and "pirate" radio reception
What frequencies can we most likely hear pirate radio?

Same thing with mine. I really thought it was always part of the default screen. Hope somebody knows how to deactivate this timer indication.
@@glennsagario4673 I tried with the reset but it does NOT work ... it seems NOT to reset anything, the memorized stations for example remain in their place ... also tried removing the battery ....
I came looking for same answer to the timer on screen . anyone any ideas yet ?
I just received my d-808 and the unremovable "Timer" on the display drives me nuts !
Hit it With Hammer

Para quitar el icono, se deja pisado por 3 segundos el icono de alarma

35 min in the video... could not process the morse code even if i didnt look at it from your phone
The Morse Expert was not decoding the CW very well. I could do it much better in my head.
That morse code is wayyyy too fast to process
What is your morse decoding app pls!?
Morse expert
@@carpediem19999 thanks!
It wasn’t reading the CW

Привет из Якутии🤝🐻У меня есть d-808. Я не могу понять, что означает слово Timer на дисплее, и как его убрать?
У меня не получилось :-)
