KLIV 1590 San Jose, CA singing off the air Sunday  View Printable Version

Scroll down a bit.

âKLIV played an announcement by station owner Bob Kieve announcing that KLIV will go silent on Sunday. Kieve said "there aren't enough" listeners to KLIV's country oldies format to justify keeping the station on air. However, Kieve also said that Empire Broadcasting intends to revive KLIV in a different format laterâ.

TP 23 Jan Victoria version.  View Printable Version

Definite improvement this morning. NHK2 signed off again at 1440UT, but with considerably more zip than previous days: JOUB-774 was at good level; 747 and 828, fair; 702 and 873 poor; but all audible, as were their carriers later, when my actual monitoring period started, one hour before local sunrise


A slight sunrise lift brought in the Philippines on 1611, but no HLAZ.


pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

not yet


Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):


594 JOAK 1545UT

603 HLSA ballad, relaxed man in Korean 1542UT

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

567 JOIK 1601UT

972 HLCA 1549UT

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

558 HLQH ballad //603 1515UT

585 JOPG man //594 1518UT

612 man talking DU English intonation 1504UT

657 man talking DU English intonation 1504UT, not //612

1557 man talking, perhaps Chinese intonation 1557UT

1575 man and woman mumbling 1555UT; VoA?

1593 CNR1 female vocal //6175 1602UT

1611 R. Mindanao network; male ballad 1555UT, same noted on Hong Kong KiwiSDR which fortunately maintained reasonable strength until 1600UT, when a "RMN" ID was noted. Haven't found a webstream for this yet.


Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)
702 747 774 828 873 1134 1422 1458 1566 seemed to be Asian;
558 756 891 1017 seemed to be DU


best wishes,

Sangean DT-800 AM/FM/Weather Pocket Radio  View Printable Version 
Wednesday, January 23 2019

Hi Dennis,

I reluctantly returned a new DT-800 to Amazon last week. It's a pretty
sweet pocket radio, but with some QA concerns.

I first learned of the model when YouTube reviewer "Todderbert" posted a
few videos of his. He encountered problems such as audio distortion above
mid-volume levels, and wildly different FM sensitivity levels between the
headphones cable (as an antenna) versus the plug-in FM wire antenna (when
using the speaker for FM listening). Both his and my DT-800 had the same
#01 firmware revision.

My DT-800 did not have audio distortion at any volume setting, and FM
sensitivity was excellent no matter what the antenna method. AM sensitivity
was great too; the best I've ever encountered in a radio this size (apart
from the legendary Sony SRF-T615).

However, the big problem with my particular DT-800 was no FM stereo from
the headphones jack. The "ST" icon would light up on every station with the
wire antenna (which limits listening through the MONO speaker), but plug in
any stereo headphones or earbuds, and the output was all FM MONO! The "ST"
indicator would never come on for any stereo station, either, with
headphones. This is a deal-killer for me as at $ 68.80 the radio is too
expensive for occasional ultralight MW radio DXing use. I wanted to use the
radio daily for FM stereo listening.

I may try buying another unit, to see if I can get one that outputs a
proper FM stereo signal. The other capabilities of the radio are top notch
for the size. I found the dual bandwidths (AM *and* FM!) to be useful for
DXing. You can also set the radio's tuning to 1 kHz steps on MW, and switch
off the soft muting as Jay Allen mentions.

Bottom line--the DT-800 is worth a close look. In raw MW DX performance I
feel it's a step up from the earlier DT-400W.

ODXA seems to still be active on Facebook  and groups.io.    You might
try those routes.  It's been a long time since I visited their website,
which gives me the same result you're getting.
