Xiegu G1M Longer range coms on a budget

[Lightspeed]

The G1M has an amazing receiver, and the G90 even better.

In the last week using the G1M and simple antenna I’ve picked up national broadcast stations across Europe Africa North central and South America, Russia, Asia and Asia Pacific. This includes BBC world service transmissions for Middle East and Africa.

Also Amateur Radio conversations across the UK, Europe, Russia, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Australia/NZ, Greenland, Canada, USA. These are slightly harder to locate and require more accurate tuning than the Broadcast stations, but doable with a bit of practice.

A few CB radio SSB and AM transmissions were heard, all UK and European.

If the microphone is left unplugged, Its not able to transmit anything at all...... which might keep even BP happy ?
