Re: Eton E100 Performs Well with 7" Loopstick Transplant
Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@...>
I know it's not an ultralight but has anyone been inside an E10? The
MW could use a little help.

Hey Kevin,
I remember that stuck loopstick of your E100 very well. The
is that any stuck, crippled, mangled or broken loopstick is a**perfect**
candidate for a transplant! And the E100 is undoubtedly theeasiest Ultralight
upon which to perform a loopstick transplant-- it's almost likesomebody
designed it for just that purpose.double-coil
There is only one coil with two, easily accessible connections.
Contrast that with the SRF-39FP (four tight connections to a tapped
arrangement) and the DT-200VX (four micro-circuit connections to apiggybacked
double-coil arrangement).probably
Transplanting a loopstick into the E100 is so simple, I could
teach my 8-year old son to do it. If any one has ever dreamed ofdoing a
loopstick transplant, THIS is the radio to guarantee success. Justsecure your
7" replacement loopstick on eBay (Channel Master Super Fringe model6515), and
perform two easy solder connections. The performance improvement isdesign extremely
fantastic, because the stock loopstick is really a flat, mediocre
skimpy on ferrite. The 530-Tacoma TIS that sounds so pathetic on astock unit
has a nuclear-level signal on the 7" loopstick :>)
