The highly anticipated Qodosen DX-286 is finally here. I already showed you that it performs identically to the SR-286 on FM and SW, you can see the video here: • Qodosen DX-286 vs SR-2...
But what about Medium Wave (MW)? In this video, I put the DX-286 and SR-286 head-to-head on MW, using the Tecsun AN-200 loop antenna for maximum signal strength. The results? Prepare to be impressed.
The signals you will hear in this video are all distant ones, from Botswana, Mozambique and Tanzania. All received at my usual location in Johannesburg, South Africa. Distances vary from 870 km (540 miles) up to 2700 km (1600 miles). I recorded the sound digitally via my Tecsun ICR-110 and synced the visuals and audio afterwards. Bandwidth set at 4 kHz throughout.
Does the DX-286 maintain the SR-286's legendary MW performance? (Spoiler alert: it does!).
I really think the Qodosen SR-286 was a game-changer for MW listening, and the DX-286 gives you the same performance, at a much lower price. It is available for $79 on Amazon (includes a carry case, but no battery).
