ferrite61 <dxrx@...> #19570 Most <$1000 radios have this problem... but its not really a problem. You are losing a total of 2 NDB's on 450kHz. The other nearest ones are 440kHz and 492kHz. As I posted earlier, you can use this to center the BFO by tuning 454 and 456kHz and adjusting the fine tuning wheel until the pitch is the same on both frequencies. I really don't see this as make/break purchase.

(even if they are dual conversion and have another higher I.F. frequency). Then if there is I.F. leakage back into the RF input stage you will get oscillation at about 455KHZ. The Radio Shack DX-440 is an prime example of this, made worse by being single-conversion. I don't have a PL-600 to compare, but it sounds like the exact same problem. --- In ultralightdx@..., "Lasse No" <lasse.radio@> wrote: I just got a PL-600 and while tuning it on the LW band I came across a severe birdie between 450-460 kHz. Is this what to expect from a cheap chineze radio? I'm not too happy with my radio, so I wonder if it could be one of those that QC missed... I have a video that shows this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_23b2oyujE&feature=plcp Regards Lasse
