Re: CHINA : CNR DRM - CHINA xHE-AAC codec DRM -
XYZ Jul 19 (Sun), 2020 22:59 UTC No.992 [xHE-AAC] ** Extended High-Efficiency AAC audio codec
*** This transmission seems to have been a test and has NOT been TX recently. (JUly 19, 2020)
Recently, a new type of DRM broadcast has been sent from China. The codec called "xHE-AAC"
is used for that, and demodulation is difficult unless special software is used.
The new type of DRM broadcast still seems to be testing, playing nonstop Chinese music.
And the frequency is changed according to time. (Irregular)

New DRM software is required to demodulate this broadcast.

It still has a fatal bug, but it can be demodulated.

* Sorry, this sound was too quiet to hear...
CNR-1 was broadcast when I heard it.

Hans Aug 08 (Sat), 2020 09:18 UTC No.1032 17790 kHz went off at 0900 UTC, moved to 12000 kHz, which is a difficult frequency as CRI is in analog
with Chinese on 12005 kHz (ironically, this is from Kunming as well.)
Lots of antenna choices a KUN, looks like 135 azimuth if targeting Oceania. Not sure of power though,
Chinese DRM is typically listed at 30 kW.
DOF had been in use on 11695 kHz, this has gone missing. When this transmissions started, I thought
they were from DOF based on this, but DOF does not appear to have an antenna for Oceania. They had
a total of two transmissions at DOF, now it is one. KUN use to have one, now they have two. So perhaps
KUN has some additional DRM equipment or it has been moved from DOF.

Another possibility is that DOF has taken over the 'original' DRM transmission from KUN. That is, 01-04
on 15180, and 04-11 on 13810.
Re: CHINA : CNR DRM - Voice of China (CNR-1) -
Hans Aug 08 (Sat), 2020 16:05 UTC No.1037 Sue Wei (with CRI) just tweeted that the tests from Kunming are not international in nature.
So target is China rather than Oceania.
So we have different sources saying different things.
Re: CHINA : CNR DRM - Voice of China (CNR-1) -
XYZ Aug 08 (Sat), 2020 23:27 UTC No.1038 Thanks Hans !!
We consider 'target' as 'directional'. Certainly it looks like that..
Hiroshi also wrote a similar article : http://drm.mediacat-blog.jp/e140030.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Their test broadcast using the xHE-AAC codec continues today. As a result of trying
reception with SDR etc. in various places, the signal strength in the Oceania direction
is strong. There is no doubt from the frequency used.
All frequencies are strong from the west. The test broadcast time is mainly 0100-1200.
Kunming may be the transmitting station that does not broadcast overseas for this time.
