XHDATA D-808 vs Eton Satellit: Rádio 9 de Julho 9819 kHz, São Paulo, sup...

Hi there, here is the first in a series of reception videos, comparing the performance of the newly introduced (and excellent) XHDATA D-808 portable receiver against what I believe is essentially the same DSP hardware - but otherwise known as the (brilliant) Eton Satellit. Interesting to note that I haven't copied this signal since a year last summer, but I know from this month's edition of Shortwave Bulletin that others have in the past few days. Overall, what a result for the £60 XHDTA?!

One thing to mention; the audio on the Eton is more powerful than the D-808, but this test is really about comparing signal-to-noise. So, don't do what I used to do and let that sway you lol.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 28/01/18 around
23:30 hrs UTC using a 50 metre longwire. Thanks for watching.
