Strong and really stable, that's how I like DRM. Only the audio bitrate should be higher.

I was surprised to be able to receive this QRG with perfect (100%) decoded audio in the crowded band. The log is rather short, just about 20 minutes.

Looking at Simone's Input Spectrum it reminds me of QRN (static noise from fog) or a splattery broadcaster in the band near the DRM frequency. Only a thought...

Not so good indoors with the DWT today.

Hi all

Perfect reception + good programe = :)

Only the frequency in the text message was wrong.


Edit: Just added the log. I did not hear any drop-outs.

Wow! My post number 100!

Strong signal! 7190 kHz is still mentioned in the text message:

We are sending a DRM SW transmission for Europe on 7190kHz from Vatican Radio S.M.di Galeria

Sorry, I had to stop the log after 10 minutes.

Back to 6060 kHz, the good reception results from Vatican radio remain, but one deep drop-out right in the middle.

Hello together,

this afternoon i tried to receive the CVA transmission but with normal setup it was not possible to get the signal decoded.

For a test i activated the "flip input spectrum"-function - and then it was possible to decode the signal.

I don´t know why the signal was transmitted in that mode - perhaps a failure in the setup of the tx-site.

Below the plot of the transmission received in the "flip input spectrum" mode.

Greetings Jürgen

Hello,
this afternoon good reception, but only in mode "flip input spectrum".
Greetings, Jürgen

Jürgen,
I did not remember your post, so it took some time until I found out that they are still transmitting with reversed spectrum.
Hello Radio Vatican, please reset configuration! Thank you! :)

First test with my new mobile setup at home.
After a bios update and a new windows installation my onboard SigmaTel audio line in is back! :D
Can run longer on batteries without power consuming external usb sound card now. :)
The pappradio has problems with the signal level from my antenna without preselector. :o

Radio Vatican: You are again transmitting with reversed sideband! :rolleyes:
