[IRCA] Kchibo D96L DSP Ultralight Received
Hello All,
After an 8-day shipping delay, my Kchibo D96L ordered from the Chinese
seller (through ecrater.com) arrived today for initial testing. This source,
discovered by Guy Atkins, was the primary outlet for orders recently. Since
many other ULR group purchasers apparently ordered the radio at the same
time as me, other DXers may now be receiving their packages.
It's quite obvious that this radio isn't suitable for everybody. Unless you
can read Chinese, the owner's manual will be of very limited value. All
the radio's labels are in Chinese also, with the exception of the main logo,
the strangely misspelled "DSP-Rado." The batteries are of a proprietary
type, and are charged within the radio when the AC adapter is hooked up. As
Guy mentioned with his initial comments on the D92L, the 120V house wiring
typical in North America may not fully charge the D96L batteries, which are
designed to charge with the 240V system in China and Hong Kong.
Apparently there is no effort underway to translate the Chinese manual into
English, at least from the comments I have heard in emails. A native
Chinese speaker resides with me, who may possibly help me figure out the basics
(if she is in a good mood). The "DSP Rado" battery is currently undergoing
its initial charge, which may fall short of the full level due to the 120V
house wiring. After some hours of charging, I'll attempt to give it an
initial DXing test this evening. Thanks again to Guy Atkins for his
investigation and promulgation of the ordering source for this new radio, the
top-of-the line Kchibo DSP portable. And yes, it does look, feel and (apparently)
act as an Ultralight.
