Perfect reception here with Dream. But if you try to listen with the Morphy Richards DRM radio, you're in for a surprise: As soon as it locks up to the service, it crashes. Blue screen and the Morphy automatically switches itself off. Grrr. :confused:

Has to do with the max numer of frequencies it can store in its memory.
Remove all stations from memory, and it works fine again (I hope)

Thanks for the tip, it worked, but I lost ALL my stations, including the most exotic catches. :mad:

Great reception with DWT, SNR up to 27 db, good quality on 16,8 kbps, but an error message like this is in Journaline.

Digger
11-12-2008, 08:12
Perfect reception here. Max SNR was around 37 dB here. By the way, I got a similar error as Ager with the DRM Software Radio.

Hi all,

A morning result for 36 mins, nearly perfect, decoding even at very low SNR.

Hi Mitajohn

Keep in minde that the beam is out of your location. Anyway, you are always good results. Congratulations for you receiver setup. On this QRG and in 9610 KHz, we are send to 45º from Portugal. This is beamed to North and central Europe. At 13810 KHz and 13590 KHz, we are beamed to North Europe at 30º from Portugal.

Hi CT4RK and all,

Thanks for the info, I'm aware about that, but in the past when some transmissions beamed to C+SE Europe I had been gotten much better results.

Hi all,

Just perfect this sunny morning.

Digger
13-12-2008, 09:07
Perfect reception. The three drop-outs must have been local problems.

Digger
15-12-2008, 14:39
Same problems in the audio at the same time on 5.990 MHz. I cannot explain the other dips, perhaps static interference.

Digger
17-12-2008, 08:43
Perfect reception, a strong signal and high SNR. :)

Digger
18-12-2008, 08:35
It would have been perfect if it hadn't been for the three audio breaks, same as on 5.990 MHZ.

Digger
19-12-2008, 08:07
Perfect reception with a high SNR this morning. 100% CDA if you'd cut 10 seconds at the end of the log.

Digger
21-12-2008, 22:31
Just perfect decoding.

Sixten

Perfect propagtion today from Sines. Fast audio brake 0740.???

Hi all,

This is my 1st result of the New Year, although the signal was not so strong as in my other reports it gave a perfect result.

Perfect reception and 100% CDA.

Perfect reception. Just perfect.

Digger
07-01-2009, 20:06
Started with the receiver running on AC, then I switched back to a stabilised DC power supply. The decoding was perfect, but note the difference in SNR :eek:

mitajohn
13-01-2009, 08:10
Hi all,

An almost perfect result. The signal was stable at ~42 dBuV but with low SNR.

Digger
13-01-2009, 08:50
An average of 34 dB SNR here at my location (with the FRG-7700). One dropout for some reason or another; probably local.

When the channel is clean even weak a signal gives perfect results.

Great reception. The AGC was left in "Fast AGC", that is why the SNR is low in the log .

Digger
01-05-2009, 08:24
The low SNR was caused by the receiver's AGC setting. One break was caused by the PC:s AV automatic virus definitions update, which is no longer possible to control manually, so all running applications stop for a moment. :mad:
I can't explain the other dips.

Digger
04-05-2009, 10:33
Lots of interruptions again this morning.
