Beginner's tip: This is the difference between true analogue and DSP with analogue display radios

Most radios with analogue displays that you can buy now, are, in fact, not true analogue radios. There are loads of reviews online where radios like the XHDATA D-219 are called analogue radios. They are not true analogue radios. Analogue displays do not necessarily mean that the insides are analogue. Regular radio users will know the difference, so this video is aimed at beginners.

This video shows you the difference by explaining how signals are demodulated, or decoded, in true analogue and DSP-based analogue radios. Some radio users prefer true analogue radios, while others find DSP-based radios highly efficient. In terms of performance, both types can be equally efficient, so the purpose of this video is just to show how to differentiate between these two types of analogue radios, in case you really want an analogue radio and not a DSP-based analogue radio.
