Hi, (I posted this LW/Roberts R9924 review also on Herculodge last week) Lately, I have become more interested in longwave listening. Living in the western part of The Netherlands, this is quite

Hi all, Anyways, I would like to find an experienced tech in Tokyo that could do the AM and FM alignment and a couple of simple "audiophile" tweaks to a Sony SRF-S86. I just picked up the SRF-S86 in

I re-read the manual and I think I may have that wrong. It seems that one must press VM on both the PL-390 and PL-660 and in both cases its near the Light/Snooze button; however, it may be that once

Thanks for the manual. It appears from the PL-390 manual that it does allow turning off of the backlight; however, going to a preset seems more complex on the PL-390. To go to preset 3, say, - on

Great 95 % Reception Improvement with Ground Connection on MFJ 16010: Thanks very much Zim, late last night I unscrewed the side screw & sanded off the black paint a bit and attached a #14 solid wire

Jerry, You may want to try a pre-selector rather than an antenna tuner. Years ago when I got my first Sony 2010 I put up a 90 foot trapped sloper hoping to make things much better. Unfortunately I

Manual just uploaded in Files

Unfortunately the MFJ-16010 is configured as an L-network tuner and will have to be rewired to work as a series or parallel trap circuit. It also may not also have enough tuning range to go down to

Phil and others, You mention on your site that your picks are the Sony SW7600GR for SSB radios and PL-380 or PL-390 for Silicon Labs DSP-based radios. I was thinking of a PL-660 but your write-up

Yes, the qsl jpg below from Graeme is the correctone, such as I had in mind. I´m not sure whateffect the low-Z ouput from the long-wire balun mighthave on its tuning sharpness, however. Fig 2A

Just a note: The circuit shown in fig 2B is incorrect. I think he meant the parallel circuit to be in series with the antenna lead, not in shunt configuration as shown. Like this

Good Day Everyone, The trusty T-615 shined here this morning with another new station logging. What makes this one so special to me is that the little rig was able to null our semi-lcl 50,000 watt

The G3 is not well suited to an external antenna...my Wellbrook ALA330S overloads it badly even in teh daytime. My PL-660 handles it much better. Jay http://radiojayallen.com

I imagine that Michael is referring to a simple parallel tuned circuit which is inserted in the antenna lead. see www.dxing.com/tnotes/tnote06.pdf if you google on "Wave Trap" you'll find lots of

Thanks for the reply Michael. What type of trap circuit do you mean? I do have a MFJ Antenna Tuner in series with the 80 Ft Balun Antenna and Zim just pointed out it needs to be grounded which it

Hi Jerry, Yes, judging by the pix at http://www.mods.dk/picture.php?brandid=15&model=mfj-16010 the MFJ-16010 has coax connectors for both in and out. The earth wire should connect to the case.

Thanks Zim, and great info on the 16010.I do have an earth ground wire connection to the cold water meter in the basement where the MFJ 16010 Antenna Tuner is located but its not connected!! Great

http://www.mfjenterprises.com/support.php?productid=MFJ-16010 The MFJ 16010 is configured as a low-pass filter, so it probably won't eliminate BC overload. Do you have a good earth ??? An ATU can't
