Il mio primo log SW con il nuovo XHDATA-D-808

Il nuovo XHDATA D-808 appena arrivato

Ecco il mio primo log SW con il nuovo XHDATA D-808, appena arrivato, fatto a Milano city con l'antenna esterna, dipolo ripiegato T2FD lungo 15 metri. Milano non è certo il luogo ideale per ascoltare, ma anche con questo piccolo ricevitore in onde corte di cose se ne riescono ad ascoltare. Ciao, Giampiero

Primi ascolti con il ricevitore XHDATA D-808

By Manuel Méndez, Spain

Yesterday I received the XHDATA D-808 small size world band receiver I bought it on Amazon. The radio seems to be very sensitive on short wave for its price and size and it is very good for travelling, because is much smaller than the Tecsun PL.880, Sony ICF SW7600 G or the Sangean ATS 909X. 

It has FM with RDS, six filters on short wave and medium wave: 6, 4, 3, 2,5, 2, 1,8 and 1 kHz and other six on SSB,  4, 3, 2,2, 1,2, 1, and 0.5 kHz.

Powered by a 18650 lithium battery, charge via a micro usb port like the Android smartphones and with a smartphone charger. 

Here my first logs with it in Lugo, where reception conditions are worse than in Friol and a 8 meters cable antenna
