started off years ago with CB radio, moved on to the naughty sidebanders and had some good copies from around the world. since then have moved on to scanning vhf and uhf along with shortwave radio.

I too get in to cb radio, started in the 1970's and went on to the old pirate am bands, got hold of a 40ch am rig. had it for a while then in the 80's went on to legal fm with a fidelity 2000.
missed the pirating and then got hold of a belcom 25 to 30mhz all mode also got an antron99 twig, furthest contact was New Zealand and groundplane up to Falkland's
with age and more wiser I am in to shortwave listening but use my computer for this as it can scan the entire spectrum and also have a tablet pc with scanner apps.
mikey what ever hobby you are in to get as much happiness as you can out of it.

sat here just filling in a form when I saw your message pop up. I have tried it with internet explorer 11 and am getting the same problem, it keeps blocking the site.
I have added it to sun java but still no joy. my Samsung is in my bedroom so will send more feedback sometime in the morning, pretty sure I tried it on the android.
perhaps the radio buffs may know how to get it working.

many thanks for trying mike. just returned a shortwave receiver it was the alinoc dx r8 was a nice receiver but had the problem of no rf gain and it was pretty useless when handling strong stations, all you could do was use the att but then mean't loss off weak stations.
see radioworld have quite a few base stations so going to have a look In the morning.

very odd excluding a rf gain on such an expensive receiver, even on the sister radio dx-11 they added an rf gain although not very good.
on most shortwaves they seem to add the rf gain feature and got to agree about the use of att.

sad to see and hear Liverpool coastguards shut down.
they ran a petition some years ago and yet through all this they still shut down now transfered to Holyhead.
