This is a semi-blind experiment, to try something new after bypassing the new Tecsun PL-520 and MLite-880 SDR. The price from Banggood is $72.99 including shipping, plus tax. They’re also available on Amazon for (gasp) $150 plus tax.
There are lots of radios these days with similar concepts, a firmware upgradeable color display with a single encoder button. I have an ATS25 max-Decoder, Amnvolt ATS Si4732 mini and Sparkelec DP-666. They all bring something to the table, and I hope the 4.3″ touch screen display and SDR capability will be an asset. It appears that the touch screen has limited capability, primarily the ability to direct enter frequencies. The SDR display width is 192 kHz max.
It supports frequencies from 100 kHz to 149 MHz, AM, SSB, CW and stereo FM with earphones. A 5000 mAh battery is advertised to support up to 12 hours play. It uses a Si5351 clock chip and an ARM microprocessor for SDR (perhaps a GD32F450VET6). There is a similar-looking DeepSDR 101 (a product from 2022) on the Deepelec website that includes a manual. And indeed, the Banggood product description for the V6 is actually for the 101, including contradictory description of the antenna connector as BNC and SMA; SMA appears correct. At this point, I think the device is a clone, and not something from Deepelec, the company that provided the original DeepSDR 101; however, Deepelec doesn’t make a V6 product. Perhaps “clone” isn’t quite the right class.
I snagged this image from the GT Retro World YouTube channel:
The SDR V6 comes with manual, charging cable, telescopic antenna and a touch pen. Expected delivery: Feb. 17 – 27.
Sadly, my SDR V6 came with a DOA battery. It does work plugged in but defeats the purpose. While not skilled, I may try opening it up to see what the battery is and try to replace it. I agree, this is a clone and not a good one.
Since you mentioned the Amnvolt ATS Si4732 mini, I will say this is a great little radio! Absolutely love my v4 and will be curious to how this device continues to evolve.
