Re: [HCDX] logs on ICF SW40

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Beware of going by the frequency readout on this receiver (and many others of
its type). It has no BFO, or SSB capability, so you can`t be sure where the
carrier is. The readout goes in 1-kHz steps, according to reviews I have read.
Djibouti is always reported on 4780, and VOA Botswana is surely on 4930.0, not
4929 unless something is very wrong there. Universitaria Bolivia is reported by
everyone else close to 4732, not 4734 as Lucio had it (and news of its
reactivation was welcome!). It`s easy to be misled by reading the dial where
the station `sounds best`, especially if you are tuning a bit to one side to
avoid interference. What needs to be reported is the true carrier frequency of
stations, not necessarily what the readout says. A poor substitute for a BFO
would be, if adjacent interference allows, to tune up and down to decide where
the `middle` of the signal is. 73, Glenn Hauser
