Hi Neil, I'm very sorry about the medical problem, that makes it tough for youto get the full benefit of the 7.5" plug-in loopstick PL-360. If you don't have any offers yet, I will be happy to

Hi Ralph, The boosted RSSI readings are quite common whenever external antennasare used with the DSP-chip Ultralight radios. Improvement in the S/Nreadings usually is less dramatic, and most

Interestingly, when I testedmy inductively coupled 19” ferrite bar loop with the Tecsun 380 the RSSI increasedfrom mid 20s to mid 40s for the three stations tested but the S/N remained thesame at

Interesting. I've had times when I've wanted better directionality for digging out co-channel DX. For example, there's a 700-watt station on 910 in Hesperia, CA, that I would like to listen to that

The slowness of the RSSI read out made me long for a DSP eadio which would tune an external antenna, That is what got me excited about the PL-360, since trying to tune my air core loops for the G8 was

Hi Jim, I've also transplanted a 7.5" type 61 AM loopstick into the KK-D6110 andobtained a great boost in AM sensitivity, although the poorly shielded digitalboard (with a tack-soldered copper

Hi all, I wouldnt have thought it possible not so long ago..but I have yesterday logged station 500 on teh FM band using a barefoot Ultralight. It was 92.4 Radio Sintony from the Italian island of

But, Gary... will that PL-360 with its plug-in 7.5" loopstick still fit in a shirt pocket or pants pocket, and be properly oriented (i.e. not vertical, reducing the signal pickup)? If I understand

He also asked about the issue of living near high powered MW stations. I'll share a little of my experience. In rural areas (or other areas that don't have a strong signal nearby), I've found that

The trick is how to peak the inductively coupled loop, be it air core or ferrite bar. Any tips? From: ultralightdx@... [ultralightdx@...] On Behalf Of D1028Gary@... [D1028Gary@...] Sent: Tuesday,

Thanks Gary. Looks like there's only one more place for the radio chip to be hidden -- under the display! An interesting choice. It also appears that some of the 8-pin header traces go up into that

I do hope Jim is well. He was helping me understand how to figure the correct number of turns, but hasn't been heard from here lately. I might be able to wind ONE with my hands or maybe not. I bought

Hmmmm….the other photo clearly showed avia pattern for a PLCC chip, but no chip. I think that’s what prompted Scott’squestion. It looks like it is the LCD footprint that we are seeing on

"The directly-connected ferrite and air core loops always requiremodification to the radio (and possibly the addition of other externalhard-wired components), but avoid the need for a separate tuning
