On my ICOM 761 the 518 signals are receivable with the ordinary
RTTY Narrow settings.  If I remember correctly, this means they
should come out with the right polarity with LSB reception on
a receiver that does not have RTTY offset.  In any case the
shift should be the same as Sitor or Amtor, 200Hz, and they
can be decoded with Amtor-Sitor-ARQ software.

I'm glad there has been some discussion of the ICOM R-1 because I have been
wondering about people using it for SW listening.  Doesn't its AM mode have only
only one filter with a 15kHz bandwidth?  How do you use this radio for shortwave
(or even AM) listening?  And if you somehow manage to use it here, wouldn't it 
basically be useless for shortwave overseas?

If the battery replacement mentioned by others doesn't clear the
problem, take the radio to another store and see if they're more
reasonable. As with many chains, you're going to find some managers
and salespeople who are assholes and some that are really good to work
with. Find a store where you like the people, and shop there. Let them
know you appreciate their service and they'll appreciate you as a 
customer. 

As far as I know (I was Christmas help at one of the local RS stores),
the repair work is indeed guaranteed. While they _could_ say that a
repeated failure is because of a problem other than whatever they
fixed, a really helpful manager will understand your situation and
won't let you get jerked around like that.

    I have never been able to recieve decent shortwave reception on
    my R1.  And here's a quote from a recent Icom ad to tell you why:

    "We designed it for 2-905 MHz, but fans tell us they get from
    100 KHz right through 1.3 GHz in many locations."

    What they don't tell you is that you are recieving cellular
    stuff at 1.3 GHz.

    But it's still a good little radio, if you want something
    that is small, recieves most stuff, and has the features
    (but not the selectivity) of a tabletop reciever.

The transceivers you are talking about are the 2SR and 4SR (144Mhz and
UHF).  The units are the same dimentions as the R1 except 2" taller.
They have 2 antenna which makes them kind of goofy looking, one for
transmitting and one for receiving "wideband".  The frequency range is
only 50-905Mhz.  The strange thing about it though is that if you can 
do without the 50 and under range, it is MUCH cheaper than an R1 WITH
the ability to transmit.  No need to carry a transceiver AND a scanner
with you anymore.  Comes with FM, AM and WFM modes.  Not a bad little
toy...

when the radio has been off for a long time, suddenly the power light

could be temperature sensitivity... the set has new batteries now, I
have cleaned the contacts, and have let the memory die a couple of times

persists... by the way, I *always* use batteries on shortwave radios, to
minimize noise, and to be able to move it around the place freely.

	SSB is Single Side Band.  It's that "Donald Duck" voice you
	hear around 3.5, 7, 14, 21 MHz (usually).  They're ham radio
	operators, although other services use SSB.  It's also useful

	I use it for detecting weak carriers or if a weak signal is
	sandwiched between two stronger ones.

	If you have the $40, go ahead and do it.  The 390 is bigger,
	but I find it to be more sensitive than the other R.S. models
	I've tried.  Of course, you still get the 30-day deal with
	it, so you could go back to the 380!

Both 6280 and 11530 are used by King of Hope - Wings of Hope from

6280 a bit weaker.

I have a Sony ICF 2010 that I have recently been using
to receive weather faxes and satelite photos, and was having
marginal results.  Gerry@bluemoon.rn.com is right about the
frequency modulated audio in the frequency range of about
1500-2300Hz.  What I found out when I looked at the audio-
output of my Sony when it was tuned to a weather fax station
(8080kHz-2.3kHz(because it has a fixed-frequency BFO)=8077.7kHz)
is that the 2.3kHz (white) was about 1/3 the amplitude of the
1.5kHz black.  This seems to be related to the roll-off of some
filter in the radio, and was causing me distortion problems some-
where in the demodulator (I'm using an AEA-Fax demodulator and
associated software on a PC).

To  solve this problem, I tuned every thing down about 400 Hz, and
have been getting great results ever since.

Anyone know of any FAX or AP-Photo frequencies?

What kind of power converter were you using -- transformer or
rectifier?  (Hint: If it weighed less than 1 pound, it's a rectifier,
and it doesn't output AC at all, but rather pulsating DC with half the
average power of the incoming AC, which is suitable only for lights
and heating elements; it would be very noisy with a radio and would
probably damage the power transformer inside the radio.)

Ian,

I'm also considering living in NZ. Best idea is as Patrick says to contact
NZ embassy in your country. I know that in London they are very helpful.
Also in London , there a numerous freeby newspapers published for the Kiwi's
who are resident in London. These contain a wealth of info about what's going
on back home. Who knows, there may be similar publications in your area. The
 other thing
is to read the NZ papers. Some that I remember are the Auckland Times and
Wellington Herrald. I read these in the NZ embassy in London, UK. They
are full of jobs (professional level) and accomodation ads. These would give
you a good indication as to salaries and cost of living. Accomodation seems
cheap compared to UK. A large library in your area (such as a central reference
 library)
or a larger university library should also contain copies of these newspapers.

Good luck.
Let me know how you get on

The Sangean ATS-800, sold by Radio Shaft as the DX-370, is under $100,
digital, easy to use, and performs well. An excellent beginner's radio.

Last winter, I was sent to Malta on business and I wanted to take
a suitable travel radio.  I checked out the Sony 2010 and the
Sangean ATS-803 and found both of them to be too bulky.  I chose
the Sangean ATS-808 as having the best overall "size/performance"
ratio.  The 808 is certainly not as good a receiver as the Sony
2010 or even the Sangean ATS-803, but it is small enough to
easily pack and carry anywhere without attention.  And
performance is quite acceptable on world-bands.  My only
complaint is it tends to be power hungry -- it runs batteries
down faster than I would have expected.

Hi,

I went to Ham Radio Outlet in Atlanta in the weekend.  The
salesman told me that there is a radio made by AOR 
which has all the Icom R1 coverage (.1 - 1000 Mhz) plus SSB
capability.  But the salesman could not remember the model number.

Does anyone know what is that radio name?

Thanks,
James
