Hello weatherall, I am a web-surfer from India. Shouldn't All India Radio (AIR) be listed in Asia than under Middle East ?. A related query: would you know if AIR's Urdu Language broadcasts can be heard in the SF region ?. Informative blog: came looking for some information on the Tecsun-BCL-2000, which I intend to buy. I have colleagues who go to HK; could you give an idea of how much I'll need to shell for a BCL-2000. thank you -shahid.
Hi Shahid: Thanks a lot for your comments. I moved AIR to the Asia listings. I have only received it one time so far. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the Urdu language so I am not sure how I would identify it. Can you recommend any specific times/frequencies I should try? I will look at the EiBi schedule.
I have a BCL-2000. I like it more for mediumwave DX than for shortwave reception. The audio quality is below average though. On eBay I paid about $44 for it (before shipping costs).
To get an idea of the radio prices in China, you can check www.ebay.com.hk or www.taobao.com, then convert the currency to your own. On taobao, I found a new BCL-2000 listed for around US$44. Unfortunately there is no longer a price listed on the manufacturer's website - www.tecsun.com.cn. It may be hard to find in stores in China but the BCL-3000 may be available at a higher price.
Hi Weatherall, Sorry about the delay in noticing your reply. In the intervening, my SF trip is done with - had trouble surviving so forget the SW listening ;-). Thanks for the BCL-2/3000 information.
