As far as we’re aware the only differences between the original CC SW and the new batch is that the sensitivity of the AM Broadcast band has improved significantly.
The way the improvements to AM sensitivity were described to me are thus, “If you set the DX/Local switch of the new CC SW to local then the AM band has about the sensitivity on the AM Broadcast band as the older CC SW model does”. That’s one hell of a statement and it says a lot because the older CC SW model was a great AM performer. > On 2 Jan 2016, at 2:26 AM, Casey <cwoll...@wi.rr.com> wrote: > > Hi Dane is the updated SW radio better then the aridgnal model or about the > same so the one that was out before? > Also what all has improved with this model over the first one? > > > > On 12/31/2015 11:59 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: >> I take your point but in Australia there's plenty to listen to still >> thankfully though the content is gradually dwindling yes. >> >> I know what you mena regarding interference and its gradually getting >> worse here to so good conditions for long distance listening are >> becoming harder to obtain but such conditions are right now and later >> tonight, what with many people on holidays etc. >> >> >> >> On 1/01/2016 4:54 PM, Mary Otten wrote: >>> I have such a God awful noise level in this town that there is no way >>> I'd look at an SW.
