I’m trying to put some older - but still perfectly functional- XTS2500 handhelds and a couple of XTL5000 mobiles back into service. To do that, I need to track down some of the harder-to-find firmware versions that are known to resolve a number of hardware/operational issues. Unfortunately, all of these radios were previously flashed with the well-known problematic... Read more View article »

The problem is my P25 conventional audio is low but the MOSWIN system is nice and loud. I trying to figure out how to make the P25 Conventional channels louder. I have turned on AGC and turned the Volume offset to 3+ seems like it did no good. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? View article »

The problem is that the radio only has GMT as a time zone option with a default offset of 1 hour from the local time one sets. As Europe is currently in DST, and thus 2 hours offset from GMT/UTC, I am wondering how I can set a local time and have the world time set to GMT/UTC at the same time. Evidently I could select another time zone which has a two-hour offset but that... Read more View article »
03-30-26 Tecsun PL-330 (or PL-520) or Sangean ATS909X2... Hi, Thank you first for accepting me here. I used to listen to SW in the 70s and 80s a lot (from France).

I'd like to buy a receiver, but would like to avoid spending more than $100 so that the Tecsun PL-330 would be my choice now to listen to SW, SSB and MW. But sound quality is important to me and I have doubts about the Tecsun in that regard due to its compactness and small speaker. Any user of that radio can tell me if it's not too tiring to listen to such a sound? Should I instead... Read more View article »

It would be nice to get that fixed [e.g., by adding the new step sizes], because the Band Default menu is what controls the knob step size for a frequency that you enter... Read more View article »

I couldn't make a positive ID because I don't speak Cuban, but I checked their web site and found that three of the four frequencies are listed for them. Time frame was around 04:00 UTC.
