Hey Gary; Glad the little Litz loop is working well for you! That the DT-400W doesn't register the loop when they are adjacent to each other (loop in the receiver ferrite end-fire) is similar to

There actually is a station on 1040 WEPN ?

Hello all, I soldered the 3.7" diamond weave loop to the mini tuning cap today, and put it temporarily into a cardboard 3.5" diskette box. As far as I can tell, it works like a miniature version of

Yeah, that's what I am thinking. A larger diameter may not help an antenna which receives off the edges. I wonder if a small diameter with far more turns would do better. - FARMERIK

Sounds like a safe bet on the mini 400 as well then. RadioShack just started selling them: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4394908# ---- D1028Gary@... wrote:

I find my Mini 300 to be more difficult to tune than my WRX 911. That fact alone keeps it on the shelf.

Buy aTecsun PL-310, PL-380 or PL-390 on eBay from Anon (Joyce). The390 is not an ultralight. Theyare the bang per buck radios currently. K

Hi all! I have been looking for a new ULR on eBay, and I stumbled on this scanner-looking receiver. I missed it on account of my job, and I was wondering what others thought of it; if it's worth

I do agree Steve. Not only has Eton slipped on QC, they also stopped publishing "real-radio" specs. Personally, I think thats a profit-motivated strategy at the consumer's expense. Eton/Grundig have

Yes but I can do that on any of my 3 ULR's, including the el-cheapo R-911. Its APITA on it but doable. (Re: my old comments on the R-911's 'station locking'. The WRX-911 didn't grab as strongly, and

It has to be reprogrammed to accept a toggle condition (on/off) and add the switch. Someone months back was tearing apart the Si4734 to see if it was indeed reprogrammable. If I recall correctly,

540 WLIE daytime like its a local. At nite it nearly dissapears. The 1040//1050 is Flemington, NJ and qualifies as a repeater. Can only hear it at nite. You're right about CJMS. Its in the null nicely

Hi Powell, This is very a very interesting insight. If this is the cause of some peoples issues with the G6 then it may be a poor design choice by Eton/Grundig that some would say is a badly

Hi Guys, These recent opinions on the G6 correlate well to the mixed reviews I have found for the G6 (and the G3 for that matter). It seems to me that quality control is an issue for the recent

If you will notice, on battery the G6 runs on 3 volts, but the WalWart is 4.5 volts. It really works MUCH better on 4.5 volts instead of 3. Powell NNNN POP email is powell at backroads DOT

I hate to tell you this guys, but my G6 Buzz edition beats my G8 in the AM and shortwave band barefoot. Even after alignment of the stock G8 loopstick for the BCB. I listen to WGN and WBBM regularly

Hi Scott, The Grundig Mini 300 was purchased last year as a possible contestant forthe 2009 Ultralight Shootout, but failed to make the final group becauseof poor AM sensitivity. It did provide a

I just started logging things the last 6 months or so after being away forver. From expereience something different can always show up over time. BUT the congestion of stations here on the AM is

hmmm..You hear 1050 on 1040 ? It voids most 1040 dxing here. I sometimes away from this area where 1050 NY is weaker I do pick up a weak station 1040 with country and almost sounds like an 'ethnic
