Consumer Radio - HAM / Amateur Radio - Antennas: K-PO WR 2100 World Receiver review

I do a review of the main features of the K-PO WR 2100. I also explain the use of RF gain when receiving noisy radio signals and how it can improve the signal to noise ratio.

It can be found here:

In the next video on this radio we'll test its short wave reception at night compared to a few of my amateur (HAM) radios.

Similar models include: Eton S450DLX, Kaito KA2100, Tecsun Radio BCL-2000

Coming soon: Eton G6 Aviator Receiver review and similar comparisons.

@DanFrederiksen The one that comes to mind was a girl that was a partner and she accidentally clicked on one of her own adverts as she actually wanted the product...her partnership was revoked instantly even though she wrote and explained how it was an accident.

[DanFrederiksen]

@mjlorton how small?

[mjlorton]

@DanFrederiksen True...I've just heard a few horror stories of partners having their partnership revoked for small infringements.

[DanFrederiksen]

I don't think youtube will kill you for a few second of music. if you just pass by a channel to tell the quality

[mjlorton]

@electrodacus Yes...very good point!

I think the AC input is fixed to 230V since it uses a transformer not a switching power supply to keep the noise down.

I like the radio looks good and is nicely designed.
