Digging into the Tecsun PL-880

I've had this lovely (and I mean LOVELY) Tecsun PL-880 portable shortwave radio for about a year now. I've always been determined to dig into it and really get the best out of it. And I never have...until now.

One of the most striking features of this radio, besides the beautiful design, is the superb sound quality. It really has a wonderful tone and solid output.

I'm a big fan of classical music, and my go-to station is WRTI FM out of Temple University in Philadelphia. I listen to it online and on the air. And the PL-880 does it justice.

I was going to upgrade to the PL-990X, but I can't see any reason to. The design pales in comparison to the PL-880 and there is nothing especially compelling about it...especially for other $200 US.

I'll do a blog post on the basic operation of the radio, followed by hidden features, as there are quite a few

10 Meter Beacons

According to WJ5O, the NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Network is supposed operate on 28.200 CW. Well 10 meters is fickle band to say the lease, and at 03:14 UTC it's dead quiet. I've heard beacons on before, specifically WB3JOE via groundwave (it's only 10 miles up the road from my QTH). But I'll leave the G90 on most of the day and listen for any openings

Back to the Linode Nanode again and why you should get one

My first Linode shared CPU server was last year. I kept it for about 6 months before I created a local Linux server on a Raspberry Pi. It was a little $5 a month single CPU, 1GB ram, 25GB SSD storage Nanode... a portmanteau of 'Nano' and 'Linode as Linode puts it. It was quite convenient to play with from anywhere. Not that it's important for my experimental needs, but 40GB/1GB network speed and 1TB of monthly transfer is pretty damn good. And I suppose that the server being in Newark, NJ, only 85 miles up the turnpike makes it more reliable? Doubtful it matters much. I re-upped again today with Linode and pulled another Nanode up for the same low low price of $5 a month. And I did so because I think it's getting risky to port forward a home server and expose it to the Internet...and I need to have one available from outside of my home domain for the things I like to do. Why is it getting risky? Its because of old home routers, home routers that haven't been ...

Start using Tmux. You have to

Tmux is a Linux utility that makes your life so, so simple. Truth is, I wasn't using it until recently. Dumb me. Essentially Tmux is a little environment for your Linux terminal sessions when you can make what I call 'named spaces' for you command line activities. Which means that if you start a process going and get accidently, or intentionally disconnected, that process keeps going regardless. You got that. No more processes getting hoses because of a connection time-out. And what's more, you can have several command windows running at the same time, in the same session, each doing their own thing. Aaaaaand...it's complicated of course. Here's the link to the Tmux Cheatsheet - https://tmuxcheatsheet.com
