Hello Thomas,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have just received the HRD-747 I ordered a fortnight ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, I quickly made some tests and I’d like to share two of them with you and the regulars of the SWLing Post<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1 – This is a recording made yesterday (23 March 2022) on 12125 kHz; RFA in Tibetan from Tinian Island; the signal is very stable, very clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The HRD-747 is sitting in the grass at the foot of a tree in a park! Nearby a pond. Only 6 of the 7 segments of the telescopic antenna are deployed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Locator: JN19cc – Locator Tinian Island: QK25TB – 13225 km<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recording:<\/strong><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-03-23_RFA_Tibetan_12125kHz_15h30.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2 – My second recording is of Radio Tamazuj in Juba Arabic on 15150 kHz 15h45 from Talata Volonondry. This recording was made in the same conditions as the previous one. Again, only 6 of the 7 segments of the telescopic antenna are deployed. The reception is still quite good, isn’t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Locator: JN19cc – Locator Talata-Volonondry: LH31TF – 8526 km<\/strong><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-03-23_Radio_Tamazuj_Juba_Arabic_15150kHz_15h45.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

My first SSB tests also allowed me to listen to Russian or Ukrainian radio amateurs in the 20m band. This little device seems to me really very promising.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3- I also made this recording made ton March 27, 2022 in a small park in my city (L’Isle-Adam – Locator: JN19CC) NW of Paris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a ham radio picked up on 14328.80 kHz at 15h30 UTC. No other antenna; only the telescopic antenna of the receiver!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-03-27_HRD-747_15h33_-14328.80kHz.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

The HRD-747 has 100 memories per band; this proved insufficient to store all the stations detected during the scan of the entire spectrum from 3.2 to 30 MHz … The scan stopped in the 19 m band!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First impressions? I am impressed by this tiny receiver (only 108 grams with its battery and strap).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to point out that the first version of the manual which was proposed on the site is particularly useful to me. Indeed, most of the keys are multifunction. It’s a habit to get used to, even if everything seems to have been thought out in a very judicious way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With my best regards. 73’s<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for sharing this, Paul. Those results are promising, indeed! The audio sounds quite good in your recordings–especially for such a compact radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
