• Alternatives to XHDATA D-808 with narrow CW filter?

    From Ottavio Caruso@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 12 08:50:36 2022
    I need to buy a half-decent SW receiver that I can use for listening to
    both broadcasting stations and CW amateur radio.

    I am tempted by the Xhdata d-808, which has a 500hz narrow filter. I
    wonder if there are any alternatives.

    You really want to fine tune CW signals on a receiver with a 1 kHz step?
    The following morse should grately help in choosing the radio.

    .--. ..- .-.. .-.. -.-- --- ..- .-. .... . .- -..

    --- ..- - --- ..-. -.-- --- ..- .-. .- ... ...

    Morse should not be typed, therefore I have to ignore it. Why wouldn't
    you bother writing your answer in plain English?

    Ok, pretending for a second that you're not a troll, the XHDATA has a
    500 hz filter. Assuming the standard step is 1 Khz, that would fit two
    signals, albeit a bit shite. Then there's a fine tuning knob that can
    (hello?) "fine tune"!

    Please mention a receiver in that price range with <1 Khz tuning step.

    It has a fine tuning control.

    So you decided to buy a CB radio then. Good for you. Now you can
    talk to all friends.
