i had a similar instance with one my E100's. it had been sitting on my
desk in the case for several weeks since last use. i tried to turn it
on. it did come on but went right back off on multiple tries. at first
i thought maybe the batteries had died even though i hadn't used them
much. i removed the battery cover and "rolled the batteries in place"
and/or pulled one out and put it back in. after that it fired right up.

i'm guessing that maybe humidity or slight oxidation of batteries kept
them from providing full power or the batteries we get with them are
not much good.

Hi Phil:

I too love this little unit. RadioLabs sells a 4.5 khz filter (LTS 450GW)
intended for Sangean 909 retrofits with the 450 khz IF. They also have a
3.0 or 3.3 khz model, but the 4.5 makes domestic listening quite enjoyable
and really does the job. The filter manufacturer's spec sheet is at:
http://www.euroquartz.co.uk/pdf/ceramic-lts-450w.pdf

The filters aren't listed on the RadioLabs web site, but below is what the
guy said a few months ago in response to an inquiry. Note that RadioLabs
doesn't have the same name for the filters as the manufacturer, and I
can't recall if the SFR450J (RadioLabs' part number) corresponds with the
4.5 khz LTS-450GW, so make sure you ask the phone rep!

I do have those in stock , If you call to order tell phone rep that there
is a code in the system for 909 filter # SFR450J
part # SFR450J - $5 Shipping around $4

John, FYI, the Murata filter we love for the E100 is nominally 2.3 kHz, not 5 kHz. I am sure you know this...it was probably a slip o' the typing fingers.

I have a less than a year old Sangean DT200-VX in mint condition - not really used much - mostly just as frequency setting for the 'hotter' SRF-59 - which I'm considering letting go of. Cost me $50 new, I'd let it go for less.

If anyone's interested, please contact me offlist.

Hi Guys:

  Welll UPS arrived today with my new SANGEAN DT-400W Ultralight Radio!! A nice looking little set ....in spite of being YELLOW!!! Haven't had time to try it out yet....as we had a nice TROPO DX Opening on the FM Band today....and I was busy DX'ing Fm'ers from Northern Michigan, Indiana and SW Ohio!! Now that things have settled down on FM.....I think I'll take the Sangean out on the back deck....away from the Internal House Noise and give it a casual listen...just to what it hears during the daytime.....

Just took 2 days to get here...so I wasn't on Pins and Needles for too long!!

The conditions to Asia were much improved here this morning over yesterday's pedestrian showing, with the exception of North Korea, for some reason. I was at the dial at 1120 UTC (LSR=about 1320). It was pretty much all about China and Japan until exactly LSR, when the Asians faded some and the DUs came up. I pretty well skimmed the cream off Japan yesterday morning, but conditions were so much better this AM, that I received a number of second and even third level Japanese (5 and 10 kW) as well as much of the cream of China. Olympic coverage was widespread, being that our dawn coincides with prime time in East Asia and DU... and the games being located in China. The Olympics coverage made for some strange parallels, with 972 running some coverage // to KBS1 and even more unusual, several of the commercial networks in Japan were carrying the same Olympics JJ that NHK1 was carrying. Wow!

There were bunches of relogs from yesterday, though I tried to concentrate on new` stuff, naturally. The log shows 18 new Ultralight catches and one new country: Marshall Islands.

1593 CNR1 Changzhou China    8/20/2008 1150   M+W //5030

Most of the above are at least somewhat regular here at Grayland during the heart of the Fall Season (October) but I'm particularly pleased with the 1269-HBC Synchros, since there are only two: 1 kW and Obihiro at 5 kW. I'm also pleased with 1440 JOWF which was totally dominating 1440. Not unheard of here at Grayland, but pleasant all the same.  Also

I tried the T615 Barefoot several times on signals that were particularly strong (972, 1566), even going outside once.  No luck.  Going TP Barefoot is REALLY difficult.

I'm sort of overjoyed , too, with 1179 and 1269. That Murata 5 kHz. is a wonder.  I received those two by off-tuning one kHz.... e.g. when tuned to 1269, the station on 1270 was obliterating a barely audible HBC, but when tuned to 1268, HBC was in the clear. Very nice!  A good filter plus  1 kHz. tuning resolution makes a heck of an ultralight.

I should note that I discovered a whole class of weak audio that the E100 can't touch. After dawn, in that happy half hour that only occurs at the coast, signal levels of all sort (including noise) drop away with daylight. At the coast, though, some DX hangs on or even returns for about 30 minutes. This morning, the DUs made their only appearance at and after dawn. There were about a dozen of them strong enough that I could at least ID the language; about half, I could follow the programming... all using the 313e.  Only three of these very weak ones could be heard at all on the E100 + Wellbrook.

The Ultralight loggings of the last two mornings have been an embarrassment of riches.... about double the number that I'd hoped. I think that an awful lot of the success is due to an almost perfect match between the location (very low RF environment so overloading is not an issue and COASTAL) coupled with an excellent little radio that is being driven by a really serious major antenna. Another advantage that I'm enjoying is DXing at a site and season that I have done for 18 seasons and being particularly up to speed on the band due to the early appearance of Asians this summer at my home location. Finally, it is a distinct advantage to be able to DX several days in a row, unlike many of my NW colleagues who are not yet in the "post-employment years."

Speaking of days in a row ... I've two morning to add to my now 72 Ultralight TP loggings this season.

John and Guy,

 

     Every time I take the Murata-filter-equipped E100 out to Grayland, its performance is amazing, just like John is experiencing.  It not only cuts through domestic slop like a knife, but seems to boost up the S/N ratio even on DX stations in the clear.  The CFJ455K5 filter makes a world of difference. 

 

     Congratulations again, John, on your outstanding Ultralight DX catches.  It's kind of a puzzle why North Korea-657 hasn't showed up for you... that one usually comes in whenever CRI-963 is strong.  But your long list of Chinese, Japanese and Koreans will be the standard of success, for Ultralight TP chasers this season.  This is more fun than anybody ever expected  :>)

 

     73,  Gary . 

I am starting to have issues with the change band button locking up.
when this happens i cannot change the band. to correct it i need to
remove the batteries and hit reset quickly and put batteries back in
before the time is lost. the radio has been used heavily this summer
but not abused . it was always transported in its soft pouch. perhaps
something i wearing out or has worked loose under the hood. i don't
see any other reports of this so i know its just mine acting up any
suggestions. forget pulling it apart i will end up destroying it . i
may have to just live with it at worse.

Outstanding catches from the west coast  John  ! .....Congratulations!.... Hope you   have many more mornings ahead just like that one.             Allen Willie St. John's, Newfoundland

Anyway, this first morning at Grayland was wonderful. I added two new
countries (Thailand and China), brought my total T-P station count to
above 50 and got my first T-P Barefoot.

BRAVO JOHN!!!!!!!! Way to go. I'm really happy when you log new stuff for
the first time....because I am well aware of the Tremendous effort you put
into your DX sessions.....even before you turn on the Radio. Every one of
these fantastic loggings is well earned...and took a lot of preliminary
work on your part!!!

You are a Role Model to all ULR Dx'ers.......Hell...I'd be happy to hear
some of this stuff on a Top of the Line receiver!! Good Work John....

Passing the landmark of 50 T-Ps makes me wonder if 100 is possible in the
Unlimited Class. I sort of think so, but I bet that it takes more than
one good season. Getting that first T-P Barefoot makes me wonder about
that, too. I'd have to get me a little umbrella tent tall enough to sit in
a chair at a little table. I'll be durned if I will sit or stand in the
rain and wind and COLD out here on the Coast to DX! There are limits,
after all!!!

John right now there may be limits....but as you log rarer and rarer
stuff...and continue to amaze even yourself.....you may find that the
"Limits" you speak of.....become less and less . Wait til you have 99
Trans-Pacifics Logged......and just need one more to hit 100.....then and
maybe only then....can I see JB sitting out in a Puddle looking for that
elusive #100!!

Hello John,

 

     Wow, congratulations on logging the 18 Asians and 1 DU on the E100, inductively coupled to the Wellbrook Array.  It certainly sounds exciting, and I wish I could have joined you at Grayland this week (at least to make sure that my favorite picnic table doesn't blow away in the windstorm!).

 

     Of course, your E100 hooked up to the Wellbrook Array will always outperform an E100 using only a large loopstick (or even a beverage), but my modified E100 (Murata narrow filter plus 7.5" slider loopstick) has logged some exciting DX for me at Grayland, such as Fiji-639, Tonga-1017 and multiple Aussies and Kiwis.  Like you said, we haven't had much chance to compare signal levels, since I was always away at the picnic table on the two mornings we were both at Grayland.  It's kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but maybe next time we can set up a table right outside of Room 15..assuming that there is no RF hash to jumble up the results.

 

     One of the most exciting things about the upcoming fall season is the chance to use the modified E100, modified !CF-2010 (30" loopstick), and modified ICF-SW7600GR (7.5" loopstick) to chase Asian TP's at Grayland, and even at home.  These all were designed primarily to chase DU's at Grayland, and proved quite successful.  With the stronger Asian TP signal levels, they should be a real blast to use around October. 

 

     Your relative DX performance percentages for the 313 + Wellbrook Array or Beverages, E100 + Wellbrook Array or Beverages, E100 + Big Loopsticks and Stock SRF-T615 are very interesting, John.  Of course, I've never used a Wellbrook Array or Beverage with the E100, but this summer's five trips to Grayland provided enough evidence to construct this table of my own DX experiences:

 

     ICF-2010 + 30" Loopstick                                       100%     (8 Aussies, 5 Kiwis, etc.)

 

     E100 + 7.5" Slider Loopstick + Murata IF filter           66%     (5 Aussies, 3 Kiwis, Fiji, Tonga, Hawaii) 

 

     ICF-SW7600GR + Amidon 7.5" Loopstick                 20%     (2 Aussies, 1 Kiwi, Hawaii)

 

     SRF-39FP + Amidon 7.5" Loopstick                         10%     (1 Aussie, Hawaii)  

 

     Stock SRF-T615                                                     10%     (1 Aussie, Hawaii) 

 

     The stock SRF-T615 is very competitive for Asian TP's at Grayland, however, John.  It logged 8 of them during a single visit on April 20th.  It all depends on catching great conditions, as you know.

 

     73,  Gary . 

The first morning started out with a bunch of DUs in at 1000 UTC, before Japanese sunset. These were only the regulars and were all too weak to be heard on the E100+Wellbrook Array. I went back to bed for 90 blissful minutes and started back in at 1140, with local sunrise expected at 1320. Things were already quite strong from Asia at tune-in and I was very busy from then until 1335. I ended up with:

Eighteen Asians and one DU, all on E100, inductively connected to Wellbrook Phased Array

None of these were new on the 313E or any other top communications receiver used at Grayland, but each was exciting as I snagged them on the E100.  Cheering was heard!!!  Probably the most interesting were the two 10 kW. Koreans on 1035 and 1305, caught in parallel, thanks to Bruce Portzer's incomparable PAL Log. The 891 NHK1 Sendai Log was quite interesting as well, not being that common at Grayland.... it was made special by also catching 5AN Adelaide (unneeded) as the band faded around 1330. Several other Japanese were heard on the E100, but were unneeded, having been heard on the July DXpedition (594, 774, 1134, 1287). I was especially pleased, also, to snag JOER, 1350 kHz., heard once in a while at  Grayland, but never before on an ultralight.  Other notables were my first Chinese and Thai stations.

I'm also pleased to report that I finally heard my first BAREFOOT Trans-Pacific station:

774 JOUB* Akita* Japan* Asia* 500 8/19/2008 1252 NHK2 EE Lesson - *BAREFOOT*

I heard that with Sony's tiny SRF-T615, pressed against the west-facing picture window, about 5 feet from all of the computer equipment. I'm fairly sure that I would have heard three or four more stations this morning that were doing fairly well quite well on the Unlimited set up.... Japan 594, China 963, South Korea 972 and 1566.... IF I HAD BEEN WILLING TO GO OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN and leave the E100 + Winradio main sets.

I'm sure that some of you are wondering about the relative difference in receivers and antennas between T615 Barefoot, E100+Big Ferrite Bar, E100+Array and Big Radio + Array. I know that I was/am and I know that the answer is somewhat different for domestic vs. Trans-oceanic split DXing and is also very dependant on the surrounding RF environment, especially the presence or lack of MAJOR AM stations in your own area. (For instance, the E100+Array is nearly unusable in the RF cesspool of metro Vancouver, BC where I am on Orcas Island.) Here in very rural/isolated Grayland, I'd say that the E100+Array is King of the Ultralight Hill. I'm rather sure that the same modified E100 would do at least as well with multiple Beverages of at least 1000 feet.

The E100 that I'm using has been modified with a Murata 5 kHz. IF filter which allows me to hear TPs well at 2 kHz. or more away from a North American frequency here in rural Grayland. Lacking SSB and vertical-walled IF filters, hearing TPs at 1 kHz away from domestics is difficult and dependant on the relative strengths of the two signals. 890 is virtually open in the NW, so hearing 891 is quite possible, most of the other international channels ending in 9s or 1s are much more difficult. Finally, it must be said that the Winradio 313E is the most sensitive radio that I have ever used... the best at audio recovery. I understand that the 7030 Plus is in the same category. The digital filters of the 313e are also very outstanding and, tho its dynamic range has been exceeded by quite a few newer SDRs, I have only found one instance where that has inhibited even a single reception.

So, if I set the 313e + Wellbrook Phased Array as 100 percent, I would rate the other possibilities for Trans-Pacific work here as below:

313e+Array or Beverages:   100%

E100 mod. + Array or Beverages   66%

E100 mod + Major Ferrite Bar  33%

T615 Barefoot    5%              

The loss of 1/3 of the T-P audio between the 313e and the E100, I would blame about 1/3 on the IF filters at 1 kHz above/below domestics and about 2/3 on general difference in audio recovery between the two sets. Would an RF amp help the E100 + Array out here in the boonies.  I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.

A final caution.... the figures above are partly intuitive SWAG guesses. I'm least comfortable with the 33% that I assigned to Big Ferrite bars.  That is mostly based on one parallel DX session when Gary DeBock was nearby in the Grayland area with his Bib Bar setup and I had the current setup running at the Grayland Moptel. The guess is also somewhat on my own experience with Big Bars.

When I assigned 5% to the Barefoot T615, I sez to myself.... "Yes, but how do you explain the absolutely stunning TA successes of Allen Willie in Newfoundland and Paul Logan in Northern Ireland, both running Barefoot???"  The only explanation that I could imagine would be their wonderful locations, with relatively much shorter TA distances than those across the Pacific. Having DXed one memorable week in Newfoundland, my guess is that Paul and Allen are probably hearing 2/3 OVER ALL of what they could hear using major antennas and the best receivers.  Beside the shorter distances, both of them have the huge advantage (as I do on Orcas and Patrick does at Seaside) of DXing day after day. Thus, while they might only get the stronger 1/3 of what is available on any given morning, having the dedication to DX day after day gives changes in propagation a chance to help improve those daily totals significantly. Again, totally a SWAG and totally ignoring the obvious talent and knowledge of those two Master DXers.
 
Anyway, this first morning at Grayland was wonderful.  I added two new countries (Thailand and China), brought my total T-P station count to above 50 and got my first T-P Barefoot.  Passing the landmark of 50 T-Ps makes me wonder if 100 is possible in the Unlimited Class.  I sort of think so, but I bet that it takes more than one good season. Getting that first T-P Barefoot makes me wonder about that, too. I'd have to get me a little umbrella tent tall enough to sit in a chair at a little table.  I'll be durned if I will sit or stand in the rain and wind and COLD out here on the Coast to DX! There are limits, after all!!!

Considering that the "new" E100 still does this well on
MW, I wonder how good the old one was...

I wondered whether the E10 received a similar internal
redesign - however, it looks like it was just discontinued
instead.

Interestingly, the Eton website lists the E100 under "Past
Collection" (as well as the G4 that just came out early this
year - huh?!), while the worldwide Lextronix site shows it
as a current model. To aid confusion even more, Universal
Radio sell a Grundig-branded equivalent G100 that does not
appear anywhere at all.

Saudi Arabia on 1521 should be a slam-dunk. Of course it's easy up
here in the Boston area but I actually heard it on a Sony '2010
during a business trip in Dec. 1986 from my room at the Residence Inn
next to the airport in El Paso, Texas. It was muscling KOMA-1520
aside.

Other than that, you could try for Canaries on 621. This hits the
southeastern US pretty well. Spain on 585, 684, 774, 855, 1044,
1098, 1116 et al. should be in there too.

Saudi Arabia counts as Asia, Canaries as Africa, and Spain as Europe
so you should be able to knock off these 3 continents without much
sweat.

Hello Starship 2001,

 

     The new Sangean DT-400W does output stereo FM signals through the headphone jack.  The radio is basically a DT-200VX with a completely redesigned RF board, giving it more wide-band sensitivity on AM (and possibly FM) compared to the DT-200VX. 

 

     The DT-400W only comes in a yellow color, but if you don't like it, try looking for an old DT-200VX. That unit's black cabinet should be interchangeable with the new yellow one....they are exactly the same size.

 

     73,  Gary

 

                               

Gary does this output stereo
thru the earphone jack ??? is
it available in any other
color then yucky bee

Hello Guys,
 
     Much to the astonishment of the reviewer, a new Ultralight digital radio model has finally managed to surpass the Sony SRF-T615 in wide-band stock AM sensitivity.  In doing so, it has also exceeded the stock sensitivity performance of the Eton E100.
 
     The new Sangean DT400W has a fully redesigned RF board, making it much more than just a DT200VX with a yellow cabinet.  The RF board AM components are nowhere near their DT200VX positions, and Sangean's engineers have obviously solved the problem of limited AM sensitivity bandwidth (evident in the DT200VX).
 
     The DT400W equals the SRF-T615 performance on low band, and the Eton E100 performance on high band, making it the only Ultralight model with unsurpassed sensitivity on all AM frequencies.  As a bonus, its image reception (900 Khz below locals) is negligible, and it has no detectable spurs in my suburban environment  Selectivity is superior to that of the SRF-T615, and approaches that of the E100.

So...That's just what I did.....not just because you gave it such a glowing report....but because I really like the Yellow Case!! HAHHAHA...just kidding!!

So....it should be here in a couple of days...and I will be able to let you know just what I think of it!! I have been tuning around on the band the last couple of nights....and things seem to be picking up ...edging towards the New Fall DX Season....so what better time to pick up a NEW TOY...just in time for the New DX Season!! Will this be the radio that will get me to 500 ULR Stations Heard??? We shall see???

Thanks for the Advance Shootout Report on this Sangean ULR Gary....I really was gonna order one anyway....you just sped up the process!!

I look forward to the entire Shootout report....and especially the results on this new Sangean.

Hey....I just bought a New SANGEAN HD AM/FM Tuner last week as well (Which I REALLY LIKE!!).........Never owned anything by Sangean til then.....now I have 2 Sangean Radios!!!

This being off work for 2 Months on the Sicklist....is really leaving me with way too much time on my hands....but I'm having a lot of fun being able to "Play Radio", whenever I want....and have added some nice new additions to the DX Gear in the Shack!!

73............ROB.
