Hey man, my granddad bought himself one of those but it did not come with a manual. Do you perhaps have one somewhere that you could scan/take a few pictures of the crucial pages if there's one in the first place?

Good news! I noticed it over a year ago, I guess, but no one had reviewed it. Surprisingly, it seemed to remain unnoticed for so long. I thought it was just another SI4732-based receiver with no benefits over the ATS-25 or ARESQ AQ1 (even worse-no SSB promised, no firmware customisation option). But let's see how it performs... It's relatively quiet when there is no signal, which is good in my opinion (a somewhat analog feeling to it). However, having no control over AGC and soft mute means it mutes too much while being tuned at a 1k step. During FM manual tuning, there's almost no audible muting, which is nice. *5:12 - Brother Stair is my favourite testing signal , another one is RNZ. **Hard house intro - 👏

You might try holding in one of the mode buttons for a few seconds to see if it may go into SSB.

The sound of freedom?

Does it have an FCC ID?

The Realistic DX-160 radio has a dissimilar metal connection problem on the tuning printed circuit board with the rivets that connect the top side printed circuit to the printed circuit on the bottom side of the printed circuit board. Resoldering is not sufficient. The fix is to solder jumper wires on the top side of the board to replace the connection made by the printed circuit on the bottom side. Shining a bright light through the bottom of the board shows clearly where to solder the jumper wires on the top side. This is the RF amp and Local Oscillator circuit so it will require alignment. Operation without repair may be intermittent.

I just tried it on my Qodosen DX-286, which arrived this morning. Mine works with a battery pack. Thank you for pointing it out.

I have one of those! The sound quality is amazing!

Interesting video, thanks. You do know that the new DX-286 variant is now available for ~80$, don't you? Not available everywhere though. It'll come when the stock of existing SR-286 run out, I guess. The SR/DX-286 is also superior to the TEF6686-based "silver sardine can" radio. I've bought one too, and despite the nice features like the information-packed large colour LCD screen, it's clearly noisier even on an external antenna. However, the lack of SSB mode is a major hindrance and AFAIK this can't be done with this DSP chip. Although I'd love to be proven wrong.

What firmware are you using

Have you any idea on how to get the radio to scan through channels / frequencies?

Hi. Thanks for this, working great for my UV-18 Pro for which the official CPS build didn't work...only issue in having is that I have a bank full of PMR frequencies but the radio will not scan through this bank. I've tried moving these frequencies to a different bank but the problem seems to follow...any ideas? 🤙🤙

che bello il 70....

Thanks for your instruction. 73

can this radio be operated with only the recharging cable and no battery?

What I don’t see on this software is how to add the 100hz tone information for my club repeater (K4MN).

My tecsun pl 990x is horrendous for battery drain when not in use

I've had this radio for several months now and one of the main features on FM that I haven't seen mentioned online is the ability of this radio not to drop multiple dbs reception of weaker stations when in multiple an urban setting, the other DSPs such as the Xhdata d-808 are noticeably affected in very strong FM reception areas. The FM AutoBW function is also excellent and just one example I have a "blowtorch" FM transmitter nearby on 102.6 running around 2 kilowatts at least, when auto tuning this Qodosen stopped on 102.5 as it heard a weak station a couple of hundred miles away, such is the power of this little radio... dont be fooled by its size, its a huge performer on MW and LW also using the telescopic with the amp activated. I was amazed at how many UK stations it could hear in Pisa including Caroline on 648 and even BBC Radio Somerset on 1566, that is amazing to say the least. The display is spot on as was mentioned here. I'm looking forward to what people make of the new DX-286 but for now the SR-286 is my go-to travel radio having taken over from the D-808. Great video, thanks for sharing.

The one thing about the Q is that it doesn’t overload….I can connect it to my 220m wire and it behaves almost the same way my JRC NRD-535DG behaves, certainly once you get to a very large antenna signal strength is not noticeable between radios. It’s more of a case of notch filters etc making the most of the signal to pull out to be more intelligible.

Here, here, that's an unbiased review from an owner of different receivers. The D-808 always puzzled me with its weirdly poor display-building a monochrome LCD is not rocket science, after all. It still surprises me why literally no one else can integrate a decent large matrix monochrome display like the one in the V115 (which, by the way, is being sold for as low as ~$8.50/£6.80). So, at least the SR-286 has a proper segment display. It still feels overpriced to me. I'm cheap, so I bought a TEF6686 radio with a TFT display for $37/£29 and will wait for the price to drop for the SR-286 radio. So far, it's definitely the best of the portables for someone who doesn't care about SSB. After all, Sony won't resume manufacturing their ICF-SW1-never again. There's simply no better alternative to SR-286.👍

You made some great points on the Qodosen radio. I am supposed to receive the DX version from Amazon on Friday. I am very interesting in finding out for myself how it does as an overall radio. Have a good weekend.

Excellent points on that radio Kevin. I plan to buy the DX version from Amazon at $79 here in the U.S. Have a good evening and have a great week.

Thanks!!!! Fellow SW Dxer !!!!

Bro what

I have a Roberts 83i which showed the same problems as referred to by Kevin O'Reilly. I did a factory reset followed by a software update and was again able to tune in my previously-tuned stations and put them on (admittedly only 5) presets I don't need more than 5 stations anyway

Does anyone have the microphone pinout of this rig??

What speed do you set your port to??? `

I find that the supplied plug-in antenna with the Sihuadon D-808 does NOT work with the PL-330/Pl-660.When it is plugged into their external jacks, the signal drops off almost completely!

OTHRader?

Nerenin zeybeği bu acaba çok güzelmiş

I ordered this radio a few days ago. I'm curious about how the FM performance will be compared to the TEF6686 radio, which is excellent on that band. By the way, I found out about your channel today and subscribed.

hi Kevin have you discovered any DIY wifi INternet radios like the pure or the high end ruark r1S that are DIY?

AMC Friday net, seems popular with the locals.

Excellent show 😊😊

Cool radio but the SOFT MUTE ruins it for me.

Biggest improvement many of these newer radios need is the elimination of SOFT MUTE. I will not buy a radio that has it.

slight typo Mr Kevin

It's a russian VOLMET (meteo information service). Not quite unusual. You can listen to it everyday at different times and frequencies.

there one or 2 reviews on TH-cam Kevin its not bad for 900

Interesting, wonder what the power consumption on RX is I'm guessing around 600ma and above if you're going out in the field might be a bit to much depending how long your out with the radio something similar is the sBitx V3 for about £400 plus postage, something older like a ft-817 might be more suitable.

Certainly not me either 😂

When was that

I just found that Amazon is selling a new version of this radio, the DX-286 for $80. The keyboard interface has been improved and is more easier to use. Is the same radio and comes with a list of the new keystrokes. It will shipped with no battery.

Hi Kevin nice looking radio if you are interested there are several videos about this rig on TH-cam by N4GW Mike Christinsen
