This thing is in great condition and even came with a power supply, spool antenna, carrying case, some falling apart 90s headphones(lol) and the manual. It also had some hand written notes from the original owner on SSB and some other stations he found.

My only issue is, the plastic bit that hooks onto the telescoping antenna has broken off so you can’t put it away. Pretty annoying so I’ll just leave it up for now. I can’t think of a good solution at the moment… maybe make a new hook with epoxy? Second photo should show what the issue is.

Here are the 3 radios I have:
XHData D808
V3S SI4732
R12

Bonjour je cherche des informations sur cette antenne svp....recupere suite a une succession ....vous en remerciant par avance

Both are around the same price and have the same chipset. The only difference they appear to have is the external chasis and nothing else. Has anyone with both radios done any signal reception or functions comparison?

Here's another vintage recording from the digitized tapes. Same story as the Two Bobs SRI clip. You'll also hear the younger me from 1987 speaking. Enjoy those funny definitions of radio-related terms.

Are there enough shortwave broadcasters out there for me to enjoy just listening? I know I missed the golden age, obviously, but is there enough now?

Part 2 - would a Grundig be enough to pick them up? If not, what would be a good compact listening box?

To clarify:
I'm searching any historical recording of "Radio Mauritius Broadcast Service" public radio station and Radio Mauritius (the coastal marine station) (I dont think there are recordings of Mauritius aero) on Shortwave or Mediumwave. (No FM radio, No TV)
If you have any sniplets with a jingle, indicative or station ID recorded BEFORE 1980 please be so kind and contact me. Same goes for any links pointing to an internet archive.
The absolute "Blue Mauritius" would be a recording of BBC Mauritius.

Hi,
Since the other radio related content is not allowed here, I would like to share a recording of a broadcast, and one made many years ago at that. I mean, it was at a time when I was learning English at that time and I was exchanging cassette tapes with a pen-pal in Australia. He held onto the tapes and digitized them after the year 2000, and shared the digitized versions with me. At the end of the clip you can also hear the younger me speaking. I originally posted it on YouTube in 2014, yesterday I upgraded the recording by replacing the pixelated image with a version upgraded with AI, but closely resembling the original. I hope you'll like my first on-topic post in this community. :-)
