I love to see the CZcams community getting inspired by each-others videos. This is what CZcams is for, not the million-dollar channels which are slowly taking over CZcams. The tech CZcams community is what CZcams was made to be!
My previous truck was Indian. The interior fit and finish was much like this radio. It was a strong truck though, and you could fix anything on it with just a hammer and shifter.
"When you pull it out of the box, just rip the antenna off and throw it in the trash." I cracked up! Best quote about a portable radio ever!
Mine isn't nearly that wideband on AM, but I'm not next door to a 50 kW transmitter like you are. And the loopstick is supposed to go the other way around, so maybe that has something to do with it. Neither the Sony chip nor the loopstick were designed for shortwave, so that's why it's so poor on that band. And its sensitivity on FM is indeed impressive.
I watched the vwestlife video, and I thought the same: I wanna see inside of that!
Don't forget to give it an A for sound quality. The sound blows the old radio away.
The Royal Enfield motorcycle is made in India and sold in the US. It is actually pretty good motorcycle for the price.
in the UK i saw a 70s Car Radio by PYE that was Made in India
Oh great. Vwestlife showed it off and now everyone is going to want one! ☺
Some quality electronics right there. Not every defect in that thing can be blamed on USPS.
Here in Brazil, we had a company called Motoradio. It was pioneer on automotive radios and sold a lot of portable radios.
The datasheet of the IC provides a diagram and there is a ceramic filter for AM, and this radio does not have it, and it could improve selectivity at least to a decent level. Even if you look at the PCB there is space for it.
Shango, "5 Core" is not the only Indian- made radio. They used to make the Èton E1 (Grundig?) in Bangalore, India. Its circuitry was based on the Drake SW8. It also had an FM band and provisions for XM radio. It's been discontinued. I still have mine and it's a darned good radio -- so the Indians can make a good radio!
I saw the same video and kept saying "I want to see the inside of that"... THANK YOU!!!!
I’m back!!!!! I forgot about this video because I went looking for the video by VWestlife and never came back. What a treat.
The bad selectivity does mean your audio is much better. It is always striking how good the quality of AM stations is in the USA, compared to the rest of the world.
That wide tuning on AM may be a bonus. Too many radios limit the bandwidth to 5KHz or even 3KHz, when the transmitters are putting out 10KHz. That wide bandwidth might cover weaker stations, but I'll bet what it does pull in sounds better than most.
Hello from India
I am a longtime shortwave listener. When listening to shortwave radios, you have to turn the tuning dial slowly, especially if all of the shortwave bands are on one universal band on the radio. The stations tend to be crowded in a handful of locations on each shortwave band. Turning the tuning dial too fast can make you miss some stations, especially when some of them have signal fade issues. Not every international broadcast network will have a good, strong signal. Another factor affecting reception quality is the time of day you are listening. In the Eastern Time Zone, the best time to listen to shortwave broadcasts is between 7:00 PM and 11:30 PM. Some of the international broadcasters broadcast their programs for Pacific Time Zone listeners between 7:00 PM and 11:30 PM also. Solar storms on the surface of the sun can hinder or block shortwave signals, so that has to be taken into consideration when listening for important news broadcasts on shortwave radios.
Perfect for fishing 🎣 trip or a workshop ,sounds like the average 70s radio my dad would have used in the basement while working..
