I took have the Apple and the Bowers&Wilkens Zeppelin Air. I agree that the B&W is a better and more costly speaker but the Apple seems to go louder if you are into loosing your hearing it for you! I understand that the decibel level the Apple can produce on battery is much lower than on AC.

I installed the LMS on my Mac from the LMS site but it doesn't work . The server starts for 3 seconds and disconnects immediately after that. Checked online in forums , didn't find yet any solution.

Okay I'm not a computer person so some of this feels above my conceptualization abilities. Can I not just enter a server number for another internet radio? I don't want to have to use my computer while I'm using my squeezebox.

What is that I hear around 13.92 mhz USB range on my radio? It sounds like professionals doing calibrations, then sending data packets coordinated with voice.
@global-hellsorosshjt546913 күн бұрын
Even on the old communication receivers there would be signals PINNING the meter and no noise although selective fading would occur. In the range he scanned I suspect there would be a hundred or more strong signals whether it be daytime skip or nightime below the MUF (maximum usable frequency) and they would be noise free. That tells me this radio has inferior sensitivity. No sideband to demo? At night on 7 mhz there are at least 20 convos on sideband; some very strong. Apparently this radio says that band is almost vacant.

I think holding the radio acts as a ground is that the same as conterpoise? Intersting idea wiring the negative battery terminal to ground seems grounding the radio itself may have more effect than grounding the aerial???

I bought my HD559 so long ago, I don't even remember when, it's been a couple of years. I never had headsets/headphones last long enough for the ear pads to wear down, so that was a really good investment for a decent and comfortable pair of headphones. Thanks for the video, I was a bit concerned just pulling them off, but it all went well with a lil' care :)

Hardly any thing compares to old 1920 ,1930 or 1940 tube radios for getting lots of shortwave channels . Well the fun of searching one touch of the tuning knob at a time . Old WW2 military field radio's picking up ship to shore and way more stuff regular shortwave just does not get ! Sure the things weight about 50 lbs. and ran on a 12 volt battery Just a capacitor on some of the transmission part could kill or hurt very badly even after years of just sitting ! Learn real fast to not set it All up !

Excellent video, especially for those of us who wanted to know what's inside their D-220 but didn't want to risk stripping the little phillips heads on the screws. :-) Looks like the loopstick is 50mm and the whip is 35cm / 14 inches, with 3 inches buried in the body, making the 'short' whip actually more effective than it looks. I also recently got an orange D-220, I've found that the pointer is still decently visible, because the LED acts like a backlight because of the orange plastic allowing enough light through (especially at night). My D-220 works decent on SW off the whip, and will accept a 25 ft indoor wire without overload. MW is OK unaided, and it will indeed DX with an external loop. Just have to tune carefully. Fun little radio, and as you said, would be great for emergencies. Mine has a date strip inside the battery compartment, looks like it was made in August 2024. Also not sure but they may have slightly altered the placement the loopstick at the bottom of the radio, because the shadow through the plastic doesn't look as if it's oriented the same as yours, but it could be just the way it's appearing. Either way, thanks for posting this, as well as your previous vids on the D-219 & D-328.

Bit of a shame the hardware is so limited. I would love to host my own LMS, get a domain pass it through a reverse proxy and share it with my friends however the hardware accepts only ip addresses which is a bummer seeing that a public static Ip is rather pricey and not necessarily available to home internet users.

Same basic experience, I opened the battery compartment on mine and saw the old battery still in there, green everywhere. Cleaned it up, deoxit, but looks like the clock is fried. Radio works fine. Bothers me that the clock doesn't work. Thanks for showing how to open these up, was going to try it but now I see it's prob not necessary.

P.S. I'm curious what type of external antenna you have connected there? I'm just north of Rochester, on lake Ontario...wondering if I can pull in some Canadian stations? Really enjoying listening to AM here at night. Reminds me of when I was a kid with my little transistor radio under the covers when I was supposed to be sleeping!

@airwolf1987Ай бұрын
To prevent overload, slightly lower down your whip antenna until the overload disappears. If it’s all the way down and it still overloads, either you need an older radio that is less sensitive, or a radio that has filters built in to block out strong am/fm signals, or may have to move/travel to an area where strong local stations no longer interfere with your radio
@airwolf1987Ай бұрын
I believe if the radio overloads easily, it means the radio is highly sensitive. A high sensitivity radio also means less antenna is needed in order to stop overload. If a radio is not sensitive, it means you need a longer antenna because the signal is too weak to receive. In layman’s terms, sensitivity is the ability to receive weak signals. Radios that are made nowadays tend to be more sensitive than ones from decades ago which has eliminated the need for connecting long antennas to it. Hope this helps everyone 😊
