Hi.
What Shortwave frequencies does the ER-V1 cover and does it have the ability to receive Single Side Band Transmissions (BFO/Product Detector)?
Regards,
Edwin ODell
Edwin, it supports the most common Shortwave modulation (AM), it does not support SSB modulation at this time
Does this radio have an external pull up antenna for FM and SW ?
Yes I see the antenna now,
Thx you
Does this radio cover the amateur radio bands? I’m thinking 2m, 10m, 20m, and 40m which are common for emergency common during crisis.
It covers Shortwave AM from: 5.950MHz to 21.850 MHz
Excuse me I came across this article by accident and when I read about the Radio The BTECH Launches ER-V1 Emergency Solar Hand Crank Portable Radio…what I do not understand is the answer you gave to Mr Edwin ODell his Question about the ‘Shortwave’ Capabilities of this Beautiful Radio, another thing I would like to understand is why is Shortwave also named (AM) when I was a boy I bought from a school pall a Radio with the capability to play those cassettes which could be recorded to i.e. you would hear a song you liked and all it took was the Pressing of Two Buttons and you would have Recording it was Great free music but my point here is my Radio was made in China but along the left hand side of the Radios Screen were… WaveF.M……MW……L.W……S.W. Short Wave was its own Band and I recall stringing a piece of copper wire around my bedroom up near the ceiling and being able to pull in many many Foreign Stations, in fact I even received Continuous Wave it was the Best Radio I ever had unfortunately it was destroyed in a fire but even after all those years I can still see it and it was heavy too. I cannot remember the name I will always remember my Beautiful Radio Cassette Recorder, memories are made of this…Peter O’Neill
BTECH – could you answer Brian’s question without having him have to look at a band chart to see what the radio is capable.
Does it cover 2m?
Does it cover 6m?
Does it cover 10m?
Does it cover 20m?
Does it cover 40m?
Ordered one yesterday and it shipped the same day. Should be a great addition to my preps.
Brian’s question was “does it cover 2m, 10m, 20m and 40m. You didn’t answer his question.
Below are the specs provided on the order page. This device is mainly broadcast AM/FM and non-amateur shortwave AM.
They do not include amateur radio 2m/70cm FM frequencies. It is commercial broadcast only. You would need a BTech UV-82HP or similar for local VHF/UHF FM.
Amateurs share 40m frequencies with shortwave stations. SW2 covers part of the Amateur 40m band but with no SSB modulation. It doesn’t appear to include any other ham bands.
Ham bands are:
80m is 3.5-4 MHz
40m is 7-7.3 MHz
20m is 14-14.35 MHz
15m is 21-21.45 MHz
10m is 28-29.7 MHz
6m is 50-54 MHz
AM:520 KHz to 1710 KHz, FM: 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz, Weather Band: 162.400 to 162.550 MHz, SW: 5.950MHz to 21.850 MHz, SW1 :5.950 MHz to 6.200 MHz, SW2: 7.100 MHz to 7.300MHz, SW3: 9.500 MHz to 9.90MHz, SW4: 11.650 MHz to 12.050 MHz, SW5: 13.600MHz to 13.800MHz, SW6: 15.100 MHz to 15.600 MHz, SW7 : 17.500MHz to 17.900MHz, SW8: 21.450 MHz to 21.850 MHz
Shortwave covers: SW: 5.950MHz to 21.850 MHz
40M, 20M, and 15M bands are covered in AM modulation, if enough demand persists we might consider a model with USB, SSB, and AM modulation in the full SW bands
They did answer the question, sort of. It only receives up to 21.8MHz, so 2m (144+MHz), 6m (50+MHz) and 10m (28MHz) are not covered. The frequencies for 40m (7MHz) and 20m (14MHz) are within the frequency range of this unit. AM is the only mode supported for these frequencies.
