    This reminds me ATS-803 (or Siemens RK-651 in DE). Muting click with every tuning step, minimum 1kHz steps and no SSB (BFO only). Using BFO to fine tune SSB signals is terribly wrong idea, because you are not fine tuning, just changing the pitch, so filters does not move, which means that BFO is no more aligned with the edge of the IF filter which in fact means, that you are receiving from both sides of that BFO - LSB and USB at the same time. This may be sufficient for CW usage, where filters are narrow and you can choose whether you tune your BFO under or above the signal and, also, freely choose the pitch, so you can almost freely choose this just to eliminate the interference from nearby (in scope of frequency) station. But this doesn't work in SSB mode, because you cannot choose pitch nor the side, because BFO have to be where the original carrier was. You cannot change this. You can slightly tune this across the filter, but this doesn't help in this case, because you have 1kHz tunning step only. This also implies, that narrower IF filters doesn't make sense. On top of that all, it looks like that receiver has no input filter. There is also no balanced mixer, so I assume there are gilbert cells, which are easy to overload, and it is designed as upconvertor, which requires at least low-pass filter on input. All in all, it has touchscreen, decent Gehäuse, big speaker and battery, really nice tunning knob, but despite that all bells and whistles on it it is nothing more than poorly designed thing, so the result is in my opinion a great no-no! Aneb tady vidím velký špatný…

      @@FlamethrowersAgainstSnowflakes In the Funcube pro + receiver and in other similar ones based on the MSi001 chip, it is very important that the signal goes into low impedance (otherwise, a lot of signal is lost, in case of going into high impedance, usual in long wires, and it also picks up a lot of noise from the power supply) . The option is to use a short wave ferrite transformer (not just any ferrite but ferrite special for short wave and VHF) in which on the low impedance side there are three or four or five turns (one end to input signal and the other to receiver ground) and the high impedance side, such that with 15 turns, at one end it goes to a long wire and at the other to a metal mass, such as a metal pipe or a metal window. We must take into account the ability to narrow the passband with HDSDR software such that in short wave and other wonders such as automatic frequency control and a good noise eliminator

      Very good overview. As always buyers are won over by things like elegant full colour displays and other gizmos that these designs throw out there as bait. Rather take some time to become familiar with basic good receiver design or speak to a technically astute ham or other RF savvy person before wasting money on what is almost a throwaway design.

    So, run a cable to a shielded antenna switch box and then cables to an array of different antennas for the desired frequency ranges you intend to use. Bulky, yes.

    I enjoyed this video... I like seeing what components are used and how things work! I have an ATS-20 receiver that I modded with a much larger capacity battery. My biggest complaint is how these radios are called "Full Band Receivers" which they're _not_ at all! Full band means _every_ major band, the two I was looking for the most, 2m and 6m were _missing_ entirely! It could easily be termed a "wide band coverage" radio, but not full band. I'm working on building my own transceiver similar to this idea but using an Arduino Nano, an Si5351 and crystal filters.

    This receiver front end is terrible, I could not use it at all in our area because of total AM broadcast band overload. Local AM stations were broad band everywhere and the resulting sequel and noise level made reception of any receive totally impossible with the telescopic antenna or the outside antenna. I had to build (ARRL handbook) and install a BCB filter that suppresses the AM broadcast band by about 40 DB. After this it works great and there is enough sensitivity to hear local AM stations although DX is impossible The filter is in a small aluminum box with a male and female BNC connector. The second item I had to do was changing the encoder as the original encoder skipped terrible. Overall after those changes it works fine.

    Is it possible to set a finer step (maybe 10Hz) so you can actually tune in the SSB? 1000Hz is OK for AM but way too much of a step for SSB

    Nice video but it says in the description LW/MW/SW/FM and I am very interested in the WFM and the maker of this video only shows receiving around 7,2 mhz (but this is always happens when it falls into hands of ham operators making a video). For example:"Can you change bandwidth in WFM"?

The radios of the past ran valves “vacuum tubes in our language “ and they too were somewhat straight foreword in design.. I’m gonna have to check out this particular rig as I’ve been addicted to ssb dx thanks to remote hams.

      @@egbertgroot2737 It's one of the reasons I'm looking into these radios. I've seen other ATS-25's with Arduinos in them that you could easily connect to with a USB cable to update the firmware for fixes, improvements, and additional features. I couldn't see a USB connection on the ESP32 board behind the screen on this model,\ where I do see the USB connector on the ESP32 boards you can buy by themselves. So, that's really why I asked. The board in this model might not have a USB connector making it more difficult to connect and update the firmware. It could have the connector routed through the USB that goes out the back, but I don't know and it looks like that USB port is just for recharging the radio. So... I had hoped OM0ET might know more about this....

      it's simple, to fixed software issues and bugs, or make improvements to the software.
      Like the latest firmware makes the soft muting and chuffing when you turn the frequency a lot less of an issue, improvements of the overall capability of the radio and so on.
