I hope it's OK to
mention this on the Yahoogroup, but I'd rather sell the following radios to
Ultralight enthusiasts before listing them on Ebay.
Since I use my Eton
E100 and other larger radios almost exclusively now, and I'm not a collector of
receivers, I have the following which need a good home:
SONY SRF-T615
This is the
over-achieving, tiny AM/FM radio that is typically available only in Japan.
Until the recently introduced DT-400W came along, the SRF-T615 was the
undisputed leader in stock AM sensitivity. The new DT-400W reportedly has a
small edge over the SRF-T615. The Sony is certainly the *smallest* radio with
excellent performance, though! This unit is in excellent, stock condition and
works perfectly. It has also been recently aligned on AM. These radios are
typically $115 + shipping from Japan, but I am selling this SRF-T615 for $55
including free shipping in the USA.
SANGEAN DT-200VX
with upgraded 6 kHz I.F. filter & antenna mod
This receiver has
been fitted with an improved 6 kHz filter, the Murata CFWS450HT. This filter is
the same nominal -6 dB bandwidth as the stock one, but with a much better shape
factor due to the 6-element design (versus 2-elements in the simple,
Chinese-made stock filter). This DT-200VX is in excellent condition and works
great. With the upgraded filter and careful nulling I'm able to catch DX signals
within 10 kHz either side of my super-local KSUH (1450 kHz, 1.4 miles away from
my home). This radio also has the desirable "external loopstick mounting",
which gets the antenna further from the circuitry's noise field for noticeably
better weak signal performance. The antenna is positioned approximately 1 inch
below the bottom of the radio's case, using a Gary DeBock-approved mounting
solution (a piece of a wooden ruler :^) The DT-200VX has had a full AM
alignment. $45 shipped in the USA.
Please contact me
off line if interested in either of these.
