=> READ THIS BEFORE TUNING PLEASE <=
- Welcome on Crema receivers system. It's made by 2 Icom IC-R8500 (
https://www.rigpix.com/icom/icr8500.htm). Crema is located 35 Km (20 Miles) South-East from Milano, the most crowded area in Italy and close to big airports (Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa, Bergamo, Ghedi, etc).
- This is not a simple online receiver, this is a setup of multi receivers and multi antennas system, check this:
http://www.ik2chz.it/RXonline/Schema%20sistema%20ricevitori.jpg
It costs thousands of € and a LOT of hours for setup and maintenance.
It's one of the very few online receiver with good short wave performance.
All this is for FREE, so use this system properly, do not camp on it and watch the monitor.
- Who tunes assumes responsibility for the tuned frequency
- Technical tips: set squelch to MINIMUM to eliminate background noise when there are no communications (set it usually around 25%), NO MORE in order not to eliminate signals.
Signal meter: 50% is S9 or 50uV or -73dBm, 100% is S9+70 or 0dBm. It's quite accurate.
ONLY on MW (Medium Wave 500-1800 KHz) this receiver has an attenuation of about 30 dB vs Crema 1.
- This system is part of an active Amateur Radio station (See:
https://www.qrz.com/db/IK2CHZ) so time to time it can suffer of interferences.
- SysOp Marco IK2CHZ can change frequency without warning.
