Any owners of this new radio here?
I am wondering if you are hearing any (audible) difference when you switch between the wide and narrow bandwidth settings in AM mode. Thanks for your answers. Ramon Khalona |

Ramon Khalona Hello Ramon, I have one at hand (about 8 years old I believe) and changing the narrow/wide switch changes the RF bandwidth on LW, AM and SW. Changing to narrow, reduces the "HF" part of the audio spectrum (so the tone changes). You may check the operation when listening to a relative weak station adjacent to a stronger one. When changing to wide, you may experience more interference from the stronger station. With kind regards, Wim PA3DJS www.tetech.nl Please remove abc in case of using PM |

Are you talking about the 909? I am referring to the 909x, which was released within the last six months or so. Regards, RK |

Regards, RK Hello Ramon, Are you sure you have the channel spacing (9/10 kHz) set correctly for AM broadcast band. If you are living in Europe, it should be 9 kHz mostly. When a station isn't tuned correctly, changing the narrow/ wide switch has little to no effect. With kind regards, Wim PA3DJS www.tetech.nl |

RK Hello Ramon, I hope some other people will add their experience. In my opinion, the audio quality should change, so there may be something wrong with the unit. If it is on wide, you will definitely experience adjacent channel/frequency interference problems, especially when listening to crowded parts of the SW spectrum.
