Re: recommend good AM radio + mp3 player combo?

Hi guys, I own a CC Witness. It definitely isn't a DSP radio, and its AM performance is inferior to that of other ultralights like the DT-400W and PL-380. I bought the CCW mainly because of the

Re: recommend good AM radio + mp3 player combo?

The DE1123 does not accept any kind of external memory, and its recording is at low quality. I wouldn't recommend it as a recorder. It's OK for FM; the AM seems insensitive and the audio bandwidth is

Re: Plugging the PL-360 7.5" Loopsticks Into the Tecsun PL...

Interesting. My PL-380 only indicates up to 63dBu for some reason. Also you didn't say what your RSSI readings with the stock antenna are when you tune about 15, 20, or 25 kHz off of KSUH's

I am not sure any boombox was made for DXing, but rather made to play local music stations LOUD.So the money went into the speakers and amp, and the tape transport first. I have a SONY ICF-F10S, and

Re: Stephen's testing

Absolutely right Kevin. The Si4734 based receivers are very sensitive but are very overload susceptible, especially in urban locations. Nice antennas BTW. I use a Wellbrook AP-100 preamp/splitter

You have projects ahead of you farther than the eye can see! It would just be an excuse to buy a PL-380 for me, not that I NEED an excuse! -FARMERIK

I just got my PR-D5P. I find it as good on AM as the SuperRadio series. It's AM isn't as good soundwise. It will get 70 hours life on the 6 C cell batteries. The problem with the DT-400W is it is

Re: Stephen's testing

Excellent points, Rick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is what happens with the PL-310/360-380 when I plug in or inductively couple a broadband antenna like the Wellbrook FLR-100 or LF Engineering

Once if in a rural area one could pick up a GE Super-Radio at many places. I don't know what they do now. I'd swear anything bought out of a retail store (not internet) in 2010 is terrible. Even

Stephen's testing

snip ... Stephen has chosen a worse case scenario in which to compare receivers. Few receivers have been designed to deal with operation in high RF fields. 20 meters from a BCB transmitting antenna

Re: Plugging the PL-360 7.5" Loopsticks Into the Tecsun PL...

For me, one ultimate test of external antennas is how well do they do when near very strong signals. For example, I believe you are about 2-3 miles from 1450 KSUH's transmitter, and it splatters

The DT-400W is the little yellow one. It has an OK FM and excellent AM. It's not quite as good as the G8. The FM on the G8 is amazing. The G8 can play a lot louder than the DT-400W because of a larger

grrrrr I missed that. I already have one G8. I like it just because it's a nice small radio to take camping/hiking, etc. and what else can you buy ? The problem is I guess 'plenty' that might be

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your question. KSUH-1450 is the most troublesome pest here,although the IBOC monstrosity KHHO-850 comes in a close second. When the 7.5" plug-in loopstick PL-380 is tuned to
