Hi there, a nice signal from North Korea on the 19m band copied with the NRD535. I'm not sure how different the 525 and 535 are, but the 525 wins on dynamic range, whist the 535 has better filters and front end. Either way, a very similar experience!

Recorded in Oxford UK on 05/06/26 at 12:59 hrs UTC using a Bonito MegaLoop FX antenna via a GI1000 galvanic isolator.

Thanks for watching and 73.
