Dave writes... Thank you. that's the kind of information I'm seeking. I didn't mention DSP, but that looks like it offers mostly better reception. And I'm interested in granular observations. Most

The 380 does not have an input for FM antenna whereas the 310 does as well as the dual speaker / stereo version the 390, which also has a larger telescopic whip antenna so better for FM. The am

Im impressed with the PL-380. A directly wired-in external ferrite rod and selectable bandwidth make my PL-380 a strong contender. Of course, with a big loop or FSL it performs even better. Michael

Hi Ken ,there is now a dealer on Ebay.dein Germany ,I think he sells five models, also the PL-380 73, Maurits Van Driessche Belgium

I'm getting ready to buy a new radio, and I'm leaning towards the Tecsun units. I thought I might get a PL-380, since it's gotten good reviews and can be bought from a US-based seller. I've seen

I bought this from the UK for about $30 including S&H to the USA. It is smaller than a PL-310, but larger than a Walkman Radio. It seems to get plenty of AM stations, I am hearing all the regulars

Hi all: Per a post on Herculodge, Tecsun is apparently getting ready for the next batch of radios, and is apparently focusing on even better quality control. One sneak peek is this

I received my Ham radio license last year and have been enjoying operating on both VHF and UHF. I am ready to take my General Class license and will be ordering an expensive HF transceiver. As a

Hello All, Thanks to Ultralight radio DXers Dave and Barry, who both have let me know of solutions to my shortage of Johnson and Johnson 2" wide waterproof tape (used for making Ultralight radio 7.5"

Some other 2 inch tapes on Internet & ebay: Kendall wet-Pruf Waterproof tape 2 inches by 10 yards - BUT back order only, and Gaffers 3VCC Premium Vinyl Tape 2 inch or more, but I'm not sure if this

Using the crate loop with my PL-660, I was able to dig KTNN 660 out from under the 660 Calgary News station that dominates that frequency. Not much of an achievement to receive a 50 kilowatt

Gary - What tape would Ernst Alexanderson have used ? :) 73, Steve

Hello All, Longwave conditions to Alaska seemed very good this early morning here in Puyallup, finally providing the chance to log an Alaskan beacon that was really booming in on the Oregon beach

Hi Gordon: Glad the crate loop is doing so well. For the PL-660, I'm thinking that it should also be getting a significant boost: perhaps try backing off 8-10 inches from the loop? The bigger

Hi Steve, Thanks for your suggested replacements for the J & J 2" Waterproof tape (and thanks to all who have researched possible sources for the original tape). Some web sites show the J & J 2"
