Propagation was quite poor when this video was recorded, but for better or worse, the SDRplay is connected to an 85 foot vertically oriented triangular loop and is simultaneously receiving the AM BCB, 75 meters, and 40 meters. Toward the end of the video, the 3 virtual receivers are tuned to 3885, 1885, and 7290, the 3 AM calling frequencies on 75m, 160m, and 40m. Since Radio China International was sitting on 7285 the 40 meter receiver was tuned there at the end. The SDRplay was set to receive a 10 MHz swath of the spectrum for this video. The SDRplay does a beautiful job receiving the AM aircraft band, the VHF-UHF public service frequencies, the FM broadcast band (in stereo) and pretty much anything you can think of between 10 kHz and 2 GHz.
