RE: Radio Notes
Dane, Do you have a PTX1 still? I have a firmware update for WiFi and DAISY online delivery if so.

I purchased a Sangean ATS909X World Band receiver quite some time ago and I'm now only putting the set through its paces. I could write pages and pages about this unit and I'll do that on my blog in the future I'm sure but I do feel that this set deserves praise for its SSB reception. Tuning round the 8-9MHZ frequency range this morning I was able to listen to the Flying Doctors service, the reception wasn't brilliant but I was able to identify the organisation and Julia Creek, that's a town in Central Australia. Now I've never received this before and - whilst Its obviously possible to receive the service as I proved - I always thought you'd need a bigger aerial than I was using, I just used the built-in telescopic whip of the radio which is around 6 feet long. Perhaps what makes things different these days is the absence of a lot of traffic from the SW bands. For those interested in this radio I recommend it as it is one of the few these days to offer both dual conversion circuitry and a variable RF-gain control across all frequencies from 100-2KHZ. The set also comes equipped with a very nice DSP which brings the radio alive! when listening to medium-wave broadcasts where a strong signal is next to a waker one, the DSP allows the weaker signal to be heard intelligibly. For those who have a computer then you can add extra facilities to the radio by use of the data sockets on the bottom, what these extra facilities actually are I'm not sure but I suspect you can hook the radio up to your computer to use software which will decode morse, teletype and DRM broadcasts. Just a few first thoughts for what they're worth smile.

Re: Radio Notes
Yep, still use that machine, like its sound and would appreciate the firmware update if it offers anything useful.

BW MM-1 speakers
A posting on this list alerted me to these speakers, and comments on Amazon spoke glowingly. They make a wonderful sound. However, I tried in vain to use the MM-1 firmware to update them, and now not only are they not updated; they don't even work. I've written twice to BW via their website, but I've received no response. does anyone have suggestions? To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

RE: BW MM-1 speakers
Replying to my own post, I've figured out how to get the speakers restarted. It took the proverbial sighted assistant to observe the color changes that indicate progress, but once we figured that part out, I understood how to do it without help. If anyone is interested, I'll give details. Meanwhile, I'm still perplexed about how to make the MM-1 Updater produce results. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 5:16 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: BW MM-1 speakers A posting on this list alerted me to these speakers, and comments on Amazon spoke glowingly.

RE: BW MM-1 speakers
Adrian Except for the update issue, are they really worth the extra cost do you think? Do they sound better than other speakers? According to the literature they do sound easy to operate. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: 21 December 2011 06:43 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: BW MM-1 speakers Replying to my own post, I've figured out how to get the speakers restarted.
