Hi Paul, Thanks for sharing your very interesting information. A couple of years ago I got a great deal on 2300mAh AA NiMh batteries that I use in all my AA applications. I was glad to get NiMhs

As you may remember, I do a battery test on all my radios. For those new here a quick review of others I own: Tecsun R911 and Kaito WRX911: 480 hours Continuous: End of Life 0.95 to 1.0 Volts per

Hi Marc, Thank you for posting the link to this most impressive radio. This is a Si473X hacker's dream and it looks like nothing has been left. Especially interesting to me is the BNC connector for
