Re: PL-310 external MW/LW antenna connection
Hi Richard,
Sure, I'll be happy to check it.
There seems to be quite a lot of interest in the new PL-210 model, probablybecause of the continuing popularity of its E100/ PL-200 predecessor. You

Re: A Nice DX on 940kHz
50kW daytimer pointed right at me. 65 Degrees them to me is 4250mV/m at 1km. Not as stong as Chicago, Charlotte, or Atlanta 50kW stations that read in the mid-upper 30's typical summer RSSI at nite.

Re: PL-310 external MW/LW antenna connection
Gary - could you remember to check if the antenna jack on the new PL-210 also works on AM and/or LW ? - THAT would make it very interesting for those unable to do tiny modifications. - FARMERIK

Re: Ferrite rod quality- Question for Gary DeBock, and fav...
Unfortunately, both 720 and 810 are domestic frequencies here in North America, Laurie, though I seem to recall that 720 has been heard on a DXpedition.
I wonder if 6WA on 558 would be our best bet,

Re: New "Ultra-Heavy" Radio :)
No excuse for a radio this size not to have true digital tuning and a number pad for frequency entry.
As pointed out, Grundig/Eton has a sad recent reputation for poor quality control. They sell

Re: New "Ultra-Heavy" Radio :)
Hi Tao Qu:
Thanks for the word of caution - you probably know more about them than I do!
If/when the S450DLX actually starts to be sold, hopefully the old TG37
adapter will work, or perhaps someone

Re: ULR/Small Loop versus Full Size Portable
Don't forget about the rook and diamond weave coils. They get better results on the PL-360 than the TERK. - FARMERIK

ULR/Small Loop versus Full Size Portable
Hi all:
Inspired by the Grundig 450 discussion below, I went and tried the PL-380/Terk Loop combo against the vaunted Sony S5W, likely the most sensitive portable known to man and one of those radios

Re: New "Ultra-Heavy" Radio :)
Provided they are using a 455 khz IF (a good bet), the 2100's SSB adapter should work. The 2100 had PAL connectors/jacks, whereas the 450 now has more standard (at least for over here...) F

Re: New "Ultra-Heavy" Radio :)
It's an interesting improvement of the S-350, S-350DL from Tecsun, and then the RP-2100 from Redsun. I believe both Tecsun built models were analog and single conversion, and the Redsun was dual

Re: New "Ultra-Heavy" Radio :)
For DXers, I would offer that a Tecsun PL-310 or 380, mated to a modest Terk loop (or jacked up with a 7.5" Amidon ferrite), would likely have better sensitivity and (by far) better selectivity. FM
