Re: [IRCA] CCRadio-SWP

[George Sherman <georgesmn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I've used the CCRadio-SWP. The MW has good sensitivity for size & good audio quality. It seems it uses a wide AM filter, but with sharp shape factor & decent ultimate rejection. It can almost always separate stations 10 kHz apart at my location
   
  Shortwave: As it was made for good audio quality, it can only receive stations 5 kHz apart when they are the same strength. Cuba on 6180 was still being heard on 6195. Short antenna makes sensitivity somewhat low.
   
  FM: Poor selectivity with locals affecting weak stations 400 khz away. KQRS-92.5 is 23 miles away & was stilll heard on 91.9. Also, rather poor FM sensitivity due to short antenna. Plus FM overloads easily. I returned it due to FM problems, but anyone who wants it only for MW domestic DX & needs pocket size should like it. 73, George S., MN
