It is big; it is heavy and built like a tank. We are talking about the EKD 500. This radio was built by 'Funkwerke Köpenick' near Berlin around 1986. At that time, there still was the DDR, the German Democratic Republic. At Funkwerke Köpenick, receivers were built which are still in use and which many shortwave listeners rave about. The EKD 500, just like its predecessor EKD 300, was widely used by radio services, mainly by the military. It certainly played a big role during the Cold War. However, the EKD 500 was also used by marine radio services and other civil agencies.

In contrast to its predecessor, the EKD 500 could be remotely controlled with a computer. It was designed this way. It had, however, a disadvantage: A normal frequency selection like with the EKD 300 was not possible anymore. The EKD 500 only had an inconspicuous small rotary knob which stopped with quite some noise. Additionally, there were signal drop-outs caused by noise. After manual tuning for ten minutes, your hands were hurting. A real grind. This could only be remedied by two easy modifications. The scanning mechanism could easily be removed and in order to get rid of the noise drop-outs during the tuning, a resistor had to be replaced by another one on the control unit. That is rather easy to do, if you have some knowledge of electronics. However, only the 10 Hz and 100Hz tuning steps are without noise drop-outs. They are still noticeable when using tuning steps about 1KHz, but not as extreme anymore. Casio keyboard indian rhythms download. I made these modifications myself and also installed a bigger tuning knob. Now the EKD 500 was ready for reception.
First, I had to learn how to operate the EKD 500. I did this based on the notes which were pasted on the front part of the radio. If, e.g., you want to change the mode or the filter widths etc., you have to enter something like a code. If you want to change to AM, you have to press the button 'MOD', followed by a '2'. If you want to change the width to 3.1 KHz, you have to press 'B' and then a '5'. For AGC -short, you press 'GC' followed by a '1'. With 'SEL' you can enable and disable the preselection. After a short while it was easy to do. |
During the few weeks that I had the EKD 500, I compared it with all receivers which were at my disposal at that time. Drama kill me heal me subtitle indonesia download.
Starting from Long wave to the 10m-band, the EKD showed very good signal quality with steady sensitivity and little noise. The manual gain control (MGC) turned out to be the best choice. The automatic gain control (AGC) could not convince me. The decay time way too short. The noise during the speech pauses increased considerably. Shoemaster software.
