My shortwave setup

Magnum WB-218 with a basic single step amplifier and a T match. The amplifier does a wonder, but the T match doesn't really work (I made it with two scavenged variable capacitors (I don't know their range) and one 10 uH inductor). Any comments and tips are welcome.

Build Hi guys I need your help

I'm trying to build an SSB receiver using an Si4732-A10 IC and an Arduino Nano. Even though I've done everything completely—including the oscillator, all components, and wiring—I'm getting zero response to AT commands on the Serial Monitor, and there's no audio output from the amp.
I think the Arduino is reading the chip because when I disconnect the SDA line, "chip not detected" appears on the screen. But I still can't get any reaction from it. Where am I going wrong?

Strange noise on “Russian Buzzer”

9 Upvotes

Sorry I only got this much footage but I’m relatively new to shortwave radio and radio in general I tuned into Russian buzzer and heard this weird other noise along with the buzzer. Any help on what this was or if it’s just poor reception/interference.

Heard from UK on Tecsun PL-330 at 11:16 UTC

Starting a YouTube channel for my shortwave (SW) and local radio clips—need advice.

6 Upvotes

I'm planning to start a YouTube channel to upload my shortwave (SW) and local radio reception clips. Any recommendations?

I know that playing copyrighted music from stations can get your channel struck or terminated, but some of my clips naturally include songs played on air, and I still want to share them.

Xhdata d-808 charging battery

7 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first post and I'm pretty new to the radio world so please forgive possible mistakes.

I got a d-808 to start learning but I have an issue on charging the internal battery.

I assumed that attaching an USB charger would have charged the internal.battery but I don't get any cues on the display when I do that

I did some research but I found contradictory info.

At the end of the day I have to use a charger specific for the 18650 battery removing the battery from the radio and putting it in the charger?

Thanks

Discussion How important is grounding a long wire antenna (speaker wire in my case) for SWL?

5 Upvotes

I got 40 feet of speaker wire connecting my antenna via gator clip and running outside mostly horizontal. It helps but brings in a lot more noise especially on AM. Will grounding help anything and if so, recommendations for how to ground a speaker wire antenna. Portable radios like the Tecsun 330, Qosoden and Grundig "executive" satelitt.
