Calico @ 2010-02-05 12:28:52 - DRM on Global Tuners
Topic: DRM on www.GlobalTuners.com

It is worth visiting Rovigo and experiencing what Hi-Fi Stereo/Mono sounds like on Long Waves/Medium Waves/Short Waves, with DRM modulation.

Silvano has done a very good job and most European DRM stations can be consistently and uninterruptedly received and well decoded.

DRM is at present mostly occupying a bandwidth of 10 kHz.

Icom PCR-1000 doesn't have such a filter, but because of its ceramic filters' wide -skirt shape factor, 6 kHz (AM or NFM) is doing the job quite well.

The 3kHz filter is not recommended, not enough critical carriers can fit in.

If you see the signal being very large (e.g. at nights on MW or if more than +20 dB), consider using the Attenuation, so as to help front end manage stay in its linear zone.

No offset is needed, just enter the DRM frequency you are interested in, (or from the bandguides, DRM or Users), wait for about 5 seconds till decoder detects algorithm and streaming in near CD quality should start. You will be able to tell if there is adequate signal by observing S-meter.

As Silvano has arranged and suggests, turn off the Unreal Player stream, and click on "Audio Start", e.g. High Quality.

The International Live Broadcast Schedule for DRM stations can be found at:

http://www.drm.org/for-broadcasters/live-broadcast-schedule

Last but not least, you will be hearing every few seconds the word "TRIAL", which is a reminder of a software involved to pay some fees.

Soon we will sort this out with Silvano and this "Trial" message will go away. So, enjoy while it is still there. ;-)

The Rovigo DRM radio is to be found at:

Kudos have to go to Silvano, good DRM jobbie ! :-)

Dorset Radio was off from 02.05 to 11.05, as a result of a branch snapping the phone line.

Apologies to the folks who happened to be monitoring some favorite frequency at that time.

De Dorset Radio, 73 es gd dx.

PS. The naughty branch will be fed to the fireplace ! ;-)
