Folks,
I'm getting excellent reception of the DRM signal from
Deutsche Welle's DRM transmitter in Sines, Portugal in Detroit, MI on
15440 kHz at 1215 UTC using a TenTec RX-350/Butternut 80/40 Ham
Vertical.

If your receiver is DRM-capable and you live in the eastern
U.S., this is a good "European" catch. There are a few dropouts, but
the musical program is generally received quite well and the fidelity
is excellent.

I reply:

I am using a TenTec RX-350 and the DRM Software Radio v2.0.34. My
antenna is a ham radio vertical, the Butternut 80/40.

It's kinda important to note that not everyone can afford a RX350,
hi. However, I understand that other receivers either can be modified
or are DRM ready; for example, the TenTec RX320d has the necessary 12khz
output already tapped, and I understand the recently discontinued
AOR7030 can also be modified. In addition, there are several portables
that can be modified, and a few from companies that, to be honest, I've
never heard of that say they are DRM ready. Some of these portables are
discussed somewhat on http://www.radiointel.com
It might be helpful if there was a list somewhere of DRM compatible
(or modifiable) receivers, but I don't know of any. Anyone?

Both are very nice links, though I'm surprised that the HF portables
that are DRM ready mentioned on RadioIntel aren't listed. Also not
listed is the RX320D from TenTec; so here's a link to describe how to
make the tap:

Nice stuff, Ian. Thanx es 73s Mike

An excellent DRM (and not only) receiver is the WinRadio WR-G303i (no
modification whatsoever required).

It is also currently the only receiver which has its own (native) DRM
software developed for it.

There's a guy reporting on the forum at www.drmrx.org with a 303i and a 60
year old RCA AR-88D tube radio to which he has attached a SA612
downconverter from Sat-Service Scheider. Guess which one wins? The AR-88D
achieves higher max and avg DRM SNR by ~8dB and ~6dB respectively. In one
example this resulted in 99.1% vs 80.5% successfully decoded audio over a
1-hour period. He gets consistently better results with the AR-88D
regardless of using a Wellbrook LA5030 loop or a long wire with either
radio. http://www.drmrx.org/forum/showthrea...0504#post10504
