First Look : XHDATA D-808

Just got it in – here’s a quickie look for you . . .

After watching the review of this on Farpoints Farms YouTube channel – I’m like sure let’s give it a look . . .

I tried the XHDATA D-109 ( see review here ) and I wasn’t overly impressed – nice but didn’t do a lot for me – especially when compared to what most folks consider the “Gold” standard of little ( relative term ) SWL radios. The Grundig YB 400PE.

The Grundig works well – but I just don’t care to beat it up carrying it in a cargo pocket and using it camping / fishing / vacation. It is a product that is actually increasing in value – this one was basically new old stock. Next to the D-808 you realize how big the Grundig is . . .

The D-808 slips right into a cargo pocket and doesn’t feel like you have a brick in your pocket . . .

Had a few minutes to play with it and the loop this morning on the AM broadcast band – might be that the D-808 is going to work out well . . .

When I get time I will try some listening on the 40 meter ham band to see how easy/difficult it will be to tune sideband with it . . .

Friday Memes by “Special Request”

Busy – Busy beyond belief – but since YOU asked so nicely . . .

Now this is world class Halloween shit right here!

Well I see you made to the “bottom” of the meme pile – here’s your reward . . .

With less than 60 days to go before Santa Claus arrives, or “Sandy Paws” depending on who you ask around here – thought a Christmas type pic would be cool – and I will try to get time to get Friday memes going again for YOU if YOU will stop blowing my phone up – OK? . . . Damn – some peoples children . . .
