Hi. Having read the shoot outs and thinking "Um - Kchibo D96L for me" I noted it has the OIRT band 65-74 MHz which I am interested in. Now in the USA the spacing is 200 KHz for the CCIR band {I am not

hi tony, 12 new ones today!!! unbelievable. very nice. did you put up a tower ??? byron

You have to separate noise floors in the radios you compare with the noise level in your environment. The only really accurate comparisons of radio sensitivity are done where the ambient RF noise

Peter: Thank you for posting the photo of your loop. I enjoyed seeing the Selena 212 receiver in the background, but it will never qualify as an ultralight radio. I own several of the Soviet era

Hi Neil: Thanks for your question! I'll put in my two cents. In general, one of the attractions of Ultralights is that one can take a small consumer-grade, AM-only receiver (as opposed to one built

That may be old information. I don’t seethe G5 on their web site. Maybe they already sold them all? I supposeindividual stores may still have stock.

On that subject yet, OT. I just read that the G5 is being put on clearance at RadioShack's that have them. Just FYI. It's a great rig in the DE/KA 110x series of radios IMHO. ---- neilkj6fba

The definition of "Ultralight" radios seemingly excludes radios with SSB or sync capabilities since they would have an unfair advantage. However, radios with DSP are readily accepted. Does not a DSP

Hi Neil, Kevin and Others, Kevin's detailed explanation concerning the unsuitability of SSB in"consumer-grade" Ultralight radios is quite profound, and reflects the originalthinking of John Bryant

Spreadsheet may have been going by "old" WBMX on 98.5, which is now WBZ-FM. It transmits from Needham Heights (a bit south of Route 9, and just off Routes 128/I-95), about 10 miles west-southwest of

Hello Gary Thank you for your comment that is much appreciated. I agree, that a 6' or even bigger loop would boost LW reception wildly and I hope, that you'll find time to prove it. My idea was to

John: Congratulations on your successful session. I monitorwd your activity on the Internet Sunday night. With the typical August high temperatures and low humidity, tropospheric propagation has

Thanks, Mark. I was using Gerald Westerberg's FM spreadsheets for the distances to WXKS and WBMX,

Don't ask me how I missed that. Dumb me. I guess I never look up 1040. I was thinking it was my receivers and maybe something to do with HD hsssssssssssssssssssss So NYC ESPN 1050 'is' also on

Thanks Paul. I have tried the G5 - it seemed about as good as my Sony 7600GR on LW. Both respond quite well to the Q Stick on LW, FWIW. Unfortunately, I think my biggest challenge is that I live

OT: point about LW performance "LW on the G8 is abysmal, while it is passable on the PL-310 and PL-380. Truth be told, without a good external or big passive loop, I seriously doubt you would hear any

If we're talking Ultralights, then Tecsun makes a good variety of consistently high-quality radios. Right now there's the R-911, and R-9012 analogs, and the PL-300wt, PL-310, and PL-380 DSP models.

Hey Scott: The PL-310 is the sensivity champ by a modest amount on both AM and FM bands over the PL-380. Both are head and shoulders, and perhaps a few ribs and vertebrae, above the PL-300WT (G8) on
