Happy to help - let me know if you need any more info, or when you get it built! Kevin

Thanks Tao, Harold

Hi Kevin, Yes, this is very helpful. The equation and example you provided are exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all of my questions today, as well as

Hey Gary: Here's a site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_circuit About halfway down, under "Resonance Effect", is the formula: f = 1/((2*pi)*(sqrt(LC))) I have found the following to be much easier

Both the PL-210 and RP2100 are digital PLL based design, noDSP inside. - Tao Qu From: ultralightdx@...[mailto:ultralightdx@...] On Behalf Offarmerik Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2010 7:55

The order is placed and he says it will take about a week to make them. - FARMERIK

Bob: Although the PL-310 receiver has been around just about a year now, it is still new enough that not much information is around for repairing one. I imagine the problem you're describing could

I noticed a seller who claimed the PL-210 and the RP-2100 are both DSP radios. I think it is an error in translating. The PL-200 wasn't DSP and the RP-2100 isn't either, but they are digitally tuned

After a few weeks of tracking a country station on 1210 under local mega-pest WPHT, I think I can finally add WANB-1210 in Waynesburg PA into the log. That makes 100 PA stations logged on my various

Thanks, I gave him those numbers, and asked for a quote for both. He mentioned an OD of 9,25 inches. I wouldn't expect this to be a long distance DXing antenna when it is so small, but it should be

There seems to be be conflicting information regarding the 210. Does anyone know for sure if it has DSP or not? It looks like it could be an interesting radio and I am curious if it in fact does have

Thanks for the info, Kevin. Pardon my ignorance, but where does the 90,175 pf*uH come from? Do you have any web sites that discuss this?

I think that's correct - I must have tied the two sections together to make a 532 pf lower end. Multiplying inductance times cpaacitance, you need about 90,175 pf*uH. Since the inductance of the

That's where I saw it before. Thanks.

Thanks, Kevin. I believe the coil seller said 365 pF is needed to tune down to 500 kHz. Perhaps your coil needed less capacitance than the one he currently offers.

If you want to see what the finished product looks like, download the "Using Passive Loop Antennas" article and look for the picture of a little green box on page 5. I put it into a green plastic

I wanted a compact set-up, so I used a 2x266 mini variable capacitor from "zlowe7", ebay item # 150275619877. As I recall I only needed to use one of the 266 pf sections to resonate the whole band.

I just sent the coil seller a message through Ebay to ask about making AM BCB and LW BCB coils for the PL-360. Don't worry Gary, I will want the long ferrite model you plan to offer too. If he asks,

It should connect to the PL-360 as is, and It would be great if he could optimize by making it larger for a little more signal pick up, and offer one for LW BCB. He has a number of choices of wire,

Thanks for the info, Kevin. What is a good variable capacitor to use with this coil? Any links would be appreciated.
