That's an Icom R7000 not 700 and it does not cover HF. 25 Mhz to 2 GHz. TAH is also on 8431.


Check it on this online receiver

Wide-band WebSDR in Enschede, the Netherlands


A lot of broadcasters have disappeared off HF but China is there in force. As it happens Icom have just announced a new top of the range receiver in Japan. Google Icom R8600.

It covers the vast majority of bands used for high altitude/space communication, I posted it as you often get a bargain if there is a typo that is not corrected before end of auction.

The TAH broadcast is on a number of bands, including (from memory) the 4MHz maritime band

Someone got a good bargain there, if it is in good condition. I have the R7000, away in storage at the moment. They are built like a battleship. I also have the Win Radio receiver, again not in use. If I was going to go the PCI card receiver route again, I would get an outboard USB version, much more flexible as regards location.

My main HF receiver is a JRC NRD525. I might treat myself to one of the new Icoms if it is anyway reasonably priced.

The two I mentioned earlier from auctions

Icom 725 - needs a repair if I ever decide to transmit, and a Yuasu FT101 (E) which replaced a Lafayette HA800 for my evenings entertainment.

This dealer appears to have the 'Z' version up for grabs, untested though.

...and I though t that I was a sad person. It's good to know I'm not alone.
Try the same thing with Brothers in Arms and you should find the 15625Hz presumably from a TV monitor

If you're into VLF, this comes on every now and then: SAQ Transmissions – The Alexander association
Christmas Eve may be the next time
.mp3 is tune-up followed by ID and message recorded using Spectrum Lab and a 4" ferrite rod antenna.

Fortunately I only have the LP.

Plenty of other tracks out there with satanic messages or 'easter eggs' within them.

That's 'Bad', though not as bad as this

That looks a pretty faithful rendition of how he looked towards the end of his life to me.

Just noticed this as the thread got bumped, looks a nice bit of kit that WinRadio.
I did have an SDRPlay which was a cracking bit of kit, can't imagine how much better that WinRadio is.

I've currently got a Yaesu FRG-8800 (With VHF module) on the workbench, seems like it has lots of issues.
Got the PLL circuit working with a new transistor and some adjustments, but the CPU is still locking up occasionally.
