The first shortwave transceiver that I bought. I got told this has
|
|
|
|
one of the best receivers and filter techniques on the beginner segment.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately this radio is a bit chunky and heavy to transport in a
|
|
|
|
rucksack so I haven't really used it that much so far -- I do not have
|
|
|
|
a station set up at my QTH yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The date of this article is calculated back when I made the first video using
|
|
|
|
this radio, because I couldn't tell when I bought it/got it delivered exactly.

## Built-in soundcard and CAT control
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The radio can be connected to a computer with one single USB cable
|
|
|
|
which provides a virtual soundcard aswell as a CAT control interface.
|
|
|
|
This makes operating digital modes dead easy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Big touch screen
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe the first thing that you might see on that radio is the big
|
|
|
|
screen. It is clear and very easy to read; you can interact with your
|
|
|
|
finger aswell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Twin filters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To separate a signal is also a very easy thing to do. Use the twin
|
|
|
|
filters to narrow down the used bandwith. Long press the filter
|
|
|
|
button to clear and reset those filters.
