Re: [IRCA] Kchibo's Top DSP Portable (D96L)-- First Impressions

Hi Gary, Thanks for your well done introductory review. Even if it does not end up qualifying officially as an Ultralight, I think this model will be loads of fun for the price. A word or two on the lithium ion battery. it is NOT a proprietary battery! It is cost prohibitive and unnecessary for m

[IRCA] Kchibo's Top DSP Portable (D96L)-- First Impressions

Hello Guys, The official Ultralight radio status of the Kchibo D96L has yet to be determined, and several of us who have ordered the unit are still comparing notes on its performance. At least from my own perspective, however, the D96L model I received from the seller on _http://www.ecrater

Here is something I haven't heard in almost a year - the Warbler is back. At 2230 EWT, on 1040 Kc they were blasting away! Have you noticed how quite it has been for hurricanes? Get ready for some nice storms. Willis Old Fort, TN ___ IRCA mailing

Re: [IRCA] 1700 with old gold rock music

Bill, Just gave radio station KVNS1700 a call and the man I talked to said they have ABC news at the top of the hour.   He said that he was surprised that the station made it up to your area.  He also mentioned that they get  reports from Europe.   The man said that they were 880 watts

Re: [IRCA] 1700 with old gold rock music

Bill, I'd bet on the Brownsville TX station. Frequent visitor here even with XEPE on. Before the mexican came on 1700 Brownsville was usually atop Sherman & Des Moines. Don K. S.F. CA bill kral wrote: Tuning into the X band last night and trying for 1710 I drew a blank there but one spa

Re: [IRCA] TP LWBC, the seasons are changing

I have been finding that 738 (assume Tahiti) has been in by 0630 UTC most nights on the flimsiest of antennas - in my case (where there is rehab work going on on my 7th floor balcony...) I am using a 6' firestick whip tuned for CB - works fairly well on most bands other than MW. In a few days I wi

[IRCA] 10 kHz AM Tuning Step Selection on the Kchibo D96L

Hello All, The all-Chinese owner's manual of the new Kchibo D96L model has not exactly thrilled the North American purchasers of this innovative DSP radio. One of the grand mysteries has been how to change the D96L's AM tuning steps from 9 kHz to 10 kHz. Reading the Chinese description for

Gary - you need to get a bigger car! Maybe you should get a truck and a flatbed trailer so you can transport the 13' loop. You could REALLY confuse the general public by pulling into a rest area, putting on the headphones and while moving the loop every five degrees, mumble the title from that ol

Tuning into the X band last night and trying for 1710 I drew a blank there but one space back on 1700 I heard some 50's and 60's rock music coming in on a shaky and fluctuating signal. Could not get an I D but did catch the ABC network news at the 11pm TOH.The only listed station on 17 is one in

[IRCA] The Kchibo D92L reviewed

Hi all: Just posted to DXer.ca is a review of the new Kchibo D92L Ultralight receiver, which like the Grundig G8 (Tecsun PL-300WT) incorporates the latest DSP technology from Silicon Labs. In summary, as a barefoot receiver it is not a very good performer because of a poorly-designed and/or fault

Hi Patrick, How have you been? That tracks with what I saw. You can hear my recording of the station at http://bill.dxclipjoint.com/sounds/toh/001680-downtown-dallas-tis-20040530-1330.mp3 There are references to the station at the following URLs. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedco

Re: [IRCA] Taking a Double Dip DX Plunge

There is a wet spot on my shirt from drooling over the SDR recievers. I love the display and the ability to record the whole MW band. I hope that the price will drop a bit so I could use multi recievers and antennas on a desktop... Is this possible Anywho... I guess it's back to the 703
