--- Begin Message --- TA's on US channels are always good to get, so it was interesting to find BBC Radio Scotland topping WGY on 810 at 6 p.m. EST / 2300 UTC this evening. Though not rare at beach sites I can drive to in an hour or less (Duxbury, Orleans, Eastham), it's quite a bit rarer at

I looks like is 8gb of flash storage. If the SDR can record up to 192 khz of bandwidth then it would perfect for a quick on-the-go type of unit. Even recording one frequency at a time would be ok for that. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44727320/Titus%20quad-fold%202.pdf - Original

Even if it is capable of receiving more than a single channel, there's not likely enough capacity there to record it without dumping the output files externally, which may also not be possible. But what would be the point of a single channel SDR ? Russ Edmunds 15 mi NW Phila Grid FN20id

It was speculated in a recent IRCA Technical Column that this is a tablet based version of something like the CommRadio CR-1 Les.That is, a single frequency radio using SDR technology.This isn't a bad thing, but it possibly is not capable of wideband recording. best wishes, Nick
