Hi!
I couldn't read the solution on the forum here, so I decided to describe my problem.
Recently, at the beginning of the year, I was looking for a new scanner that has everything. I decided on SDS200e. What did I want to listen to? Mainly AM Airplanes with 108-136Mhz and services operating in the 136-175Mhz range and other less important signals. Initially, I decided on SDS because it is a nice-priced device for me. I had several unidens before and this one was already expanded with DMR. I bought it, listened to it for the first time and it was better than Uniden125, but nothing great. I live in a country border in central Europe. I have two countries to listen to, Poland and Germany. In my location, I am about 120 km (74 mi) to a large Polish airport where there is ATC, FIS and other services that constantly transmit in contact with planes. I heard SDS but only what was in the air, no control on the ground was heard. I live in a block of flats on the top floor. I have a Sirio 1300 Discon antenna set high above the building. It's less than 60 km (37 mi) to the second airport in Germany, an even larger one. There, I only hear planes in the air occasionally.
I wasn't happy with my airplane AM reception. The 136-174 range was ok, but the AM airband was terrible.
I read many posts, watched videos on YouTube and talked on Facebook and many people recommended the top-class AOR DV1 receiver. I bought it.
My disappointment is very great. My AOR picks up the same as SDS or even less sometimes. It all depends on the settings. The biggest problem I have is that the connected antenna on the roof of the AOR collects signals from the radio - from the musician's loudspeakers - in three frequencies of the AM radio band. It is not a clear voice, but the receiver hears the music through the noise. The receiver picks up these sounds very strongly and I have to set SQL to 40 to not hear the noise and music. You can only hear music on AM and it doesn't matter whether AM15, AM8 or AM5.5. There's always music. I also checked various settings of other parameters. From time to time, the pilot talking through the music breaks through, but you can't hear him very well. This happens on the airport frequency in Germany and two, sometimes three in Poland. The frequency of the German airport that plays the loudest is 124.9500mHz and I hear music from about 124.8Hz to 125.1. In Poland I don't hear any AM radio in this range. Same in Germany. For example, SDS200e is completely silent in this respect, even with SQL set to 0, you can't hear a single note.
The radio is new. It has the latest software. The antenna cable is 10m 50 Ohm H155.
AOR is very fast. It was also supposed to be better than SDS in digital emotion, but it turns out that it is quite the opposite.
Is this normal behavior? Maybe there is something wrong with the radio?
