Well this isn't quite true I suppose if you don't have a Shortwave receiver capable of receiving DRM but the poss ability is now more real than ever.
Ausie Radio - Australia's only domestic Shortwave broadcaster - is hoping to soon broadcast using DRM, they're just requiring the appropriate approvals.
This will mean FM quality sound through your DRM receiver and will not affect the standard Shortwave broadcast.
The idea of DRM is to reduce fading and all the other affects standard analogue Shortwave reception is known for but there ar downsides.
The reception of the signal has to be solid or the DRM portion won't be heard and you'll only hear the Analogue Shortwave signal instead.
Tecsun have a DRM model available and Tecsun Radios in Australia should be receiving stock of this shortly.
Other International Shortwave broadcasters are using DRM on a regular basis including Radio New Zealand's Pacific service and Radio India.
If you don't have a DRM capable radio then you can buy radio sets with connections to enable the radio to be connected to a computer running the appropriate DRM decoding software, examples of such compatible radio sets are the CC SW and Tecsun S-2000 or Grundig Satelite 750.

Dane,
Is this similar to our AM HD broadcasting in the United States? I wonder if this is the same station I used to enjoylistening to some years back. It was a regional Australian station broadcasting local programming and news, not the overseas service, and I used to hear it often in the morning here in Minnesota on the 31 meter band. It would be interesting to see if the DRM signal would come through here. It used to put in a pretty stable signal considering the distance.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

I believe that DRM has similar qualities to your AM HD system - IBOC as its known - however DRM is an open standard where as IBOC requires a license to use it.
AusieRadio is a new shortwave service formed to cover Australia - in particular the Outback - to replace the ABC Shortwave domestic service which was switched off last year.
If you want to try and receive AusieRadio then try either 4835 or 5045KHZ

If you can’t receive it where you are then try one of the Australian web based SDR’S at http://www.sdr.hu < http://www.sdr.hu/> and see if you may get it through one of those. I have no trouble getting good reception here and I’m around a thousand miles south of the transmitter I believe.

I have a question for you on a related topic.
Where you're living is near the border of Canada right? If so could you give me the ID of the Canadian station on 1010KHZ? I think it might be part of a CBC network.

Dane,
Your geography is good. We are on the Canadian border in minndsota although the border is probably 300 miles north of Minneapolis. There is a CBC station on 1010 KHZ in Calgury Alberta. It covers a pretty wide area. There is also a commercial station that I believe is still broadcasting in Toronto. It was CFRB, and had a short wave outlet of CFRX on 6070 KHZ, but I don't know the current status of that station. Let me know if this helps.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

I heard the station on 1010KHZ when I was listening to a SDR in Idaho USA and up until that time I didn’t know where Idaho was, that’s on the border with Canada or close to as I understand it.

Dane,
Your geography is good. We are on the Canadian border in minndsota although the border is probably 300 miles north of Minneapolis. There is a CBC station on 1010 KHZ in Calgury Alberta. It covers a pretty wide area. There is also a commercial station that I believe is still broadcasting in Toronto. It was CFRB, and had a short wave outlet of CFRX on 6070 KHZ, but I don't know the current status of that station. Let me know if this helps.

I have a question for you on a related topic.
Where you're living is near the border of Canada right? If so could you give me the ID of the Canadian station on 1010KHZ? I think it might be part of a CBC network.

I believe that DRM has similar qualities to your AM HD system - IBOC
as its known - however DRM is an open standard where as IBOC requires
a license to use it.
AusieRadio is a new shortwave service formed to cover Australia - in
particular the Outback - to replace the ABC Shortwave domestic service
which was switched off last year.
If you want to try and receive AusieRadio then try either 4835 or
5045KHZ

be interesting to see if the DRM signal would come through here. It
used to put in a pretty stable signal considering the distance.

Well this isn't quite true I suppose if you don't have a Shortwave receiver capable of receiving DRM but the poss ability is now more
real than ever.
Ausie Radio - Australia's only domestic Shortwave broadcaster - is
hoping to soon broadcast using DRM, they're just requiring the appropriate
approvals.
This will mean FM quality sound through your DRM receiver and will
not affect the standard Shortwave broadcast.
The idea of DRM is to reduce fading and all the other affects
standard analogue Shortwave reception is known for but there ar downsides.
The reception of the signal has to be solid or the DRM portion won't
be heard and you'll only hear the Analogue Shortwave signal instead.
Tecsun have a DRM model available and Tecsun Radios in Australia
should be receiving stock of this shortly.
Other International Shortwave broadcasters are using DRM on a regular basis including Radio New Zealand's Pacific service and Radio India.
If you don't have a DRM capable radio then you can buy radio sets
with connections to enable the radio to be connected to a computer running
the appropriate DRM decoding software, examples of such compatible
radio sets are the CC SW and Tecsun S-2000 or Grundig Satelite 750.

so am wanting to know how to do this

I Didn’t say that you could tune with the arrow keys.
What I did say was that there were various ways of tuning and with some you were going to have to use the tools your Screen Reader of choice offers.
The most obvious way of tuning is via direct frequency entry and an edit box comes up by default where you type your frequency and press enter, the SDR will then navigate to the chosen frequency though this may take around 2 seconds.
The next way is to click on the up/down buttons for tuning and there are several sets of these that tune in different step sizes, for example there are plus and minus 9KHZ step buttons for Medium-Wave, 5KHZ buttons for Shortwave, 100KHZ buttons for larger steps and so on.
A simple click with the mouse on either of these buttons will cause the SDR to move up or down in the chosen step size.
Other buttons and combo boxes are on the screen to control band selection, encoder - if available - IF band filter etc.

Hello
this is what info I was after
also thank you for correcting me on tuning for some reason I thought that you said that you could tune with the aro keys also thank you for the explanations on what did what on the sdr I like the way you explain things.
<happy smily>
on a side note though
I have been in touch with the folks at kiwi sdr on the keyboard shortcuts the developer has had a visually impaired email him on the list he did say that he was working on it
when I contacted him the second time he said that some code was conflicting and that he had to get a I think it was a sattle lite tracking or something feature wise out the door
I haven't contacted him sense
that was about a month ago
I will contact him again
perhaps you all could contact him as well so he knows that other visually impaired users would also like the keyboard shortcuts
but he is working on it wich is a good thing
thanks
Hank
