Thanks Pascal. I am VERY relieved it is back as it very nearly wasn't. The chat room is not linked from the board directly, but that is something which needs attention.

I was google searching for Dutch fm tx's and found this old article and google translated for French and understand better therefore is UK fm switch-off very near and will fm dxers antenne/ radio-tuner equipment become obsolete similar to the analogue cathode tv receivers :o https://www.dailymail.co...

Hello, In a local Cash Express boutique there is a elad fdm s1 for sale 80 euros and is this a good sdr for buying? I have a airspy mini and ask if the fdm s1 is a better SDR for fm dx? I search for elad fdm s2 but the price is expensive for a novice fm dxer who dx's only occasionaly. Good DX Pasca...

This afternoon in l'hay les roses has been 34.3°C and for tomorrow much warmer @ 36°C and remaining the same until thursday this week. Are such conditions ideal for fm dx because i hear only local fm upto 150Km distant for a dipole and the antenne i try build is non performant so i must go professio...

Later on today i will have completed a 6 element telescopic FM antenne home design/ assembley and hopefully it will be good for FM DXing this tropo occasion

Hello,

For receiving the coming Perseid Meteor Shower on fm what is the best simple setup also is it possible for reception with a dipole vertical or horizontal indoor this evening, we expect very strong winds and the dipole is fragile.

You have got an absolute bargain for 25 euros! Yes i think this can be true but how it is working a friend who repaired it does not know because he say interieur was a wiring mess, but now i do not complain. The photo show the sony working and display 100.9 France Bleu Orleans which can receive her...

It sounds like an attempted modification has been made. If you do the Konrad modification with the add-on Seeeduino board and turn on the unit without the usb connection to a computer the radio will just hang flashing "wait". Assuming there is no add-on Seeduino board then you need to look in side ...

Stuart i am much impressed with this amplifier i contact TGN friday and ask if i can order a amplifier covering only 6/4m band and not other frequencies they reply yes and will be in a metal box equivalent to the ULNA3018 but of course spec's different and cost 114 euros inclus poste. They inform i ...
