Re: Tecsun PL380
Hi Sarmento!
Is the “ultralight ferrite loop” a tuned or an unturned loop? Could you post some details of construction?

Subject: [ultralightdx] Tecsun PL380
Hi, I've just purchased a Tecsun PL380 in order
to have it tested for MW Dxing. I mainly intend to use it with magnetically
coupling loops, both ferrite and air coil.
I have read something about it, and I wonder about using its narrow filter
capability through DSP together with a high selective loop antenna could give
good results.
I made another experimental loop antenna which I think it could be considered
as a "ultralight ferrite loop" using Litz wire and covering from 520
kHz to 1700 kHz. Using it with a Sony 7600GR has proven to be adequate to get
better signal level and selectivity without front-end overload.
Main consideration here is performance and portability for MW dxing using the
ultralight concept.
