WWV being picked up on a BC8500XLT
- Thread starter Se7en
- Start date
Probably some kind of image if the IF is 10 mhz on that radio it might me mixing somehow and your hearing it
Busted out with a shortwave radio and am not able to pick up any wwv time on 5,10,15 or 20mhz :/

Since he was changing frequencies and the signal remained constant (I think) it would not be an image but rather most likely leakage of the WWV signal into the IF section. I tried to find out what that model had for an IF frequency but no luck.
CK,
i guess i read his statement differently than you did.
i thought he meant that once he switched to a certain freq. that he heard WWV coming through.
maybe 7 will come back and clarify.
something tells me that these scanners have a 10.7mhz IF in them.

As you can see where it says L/O 000.0000 there's no frequency LOL the scanner is old school, and I wonder what freq it sits on when it goes to a memory that says 000.0000

I was just looking at the channel number and the freq. display. It may default to 25 MHz and WWV did resume transmissions on 25 MHz in April this year. Why not program the thing up with some REAL frequencies and then listen. Program a couple non-used ones as well as 25.000 MHz and see then.
There you go, sure enough 25MHz is booming with WWV time from CO and HI at the same time. The SW radio I use mostly is a Grundig G3. Too lazy to plug in the radioshack dx-394.
