I'm interested in radios like the Tecsun's & Eton/Grundig's but medium-size like the Tecsun PL-398. Are there any discussion groups for these mid-size radios? Tecsun

I would concentrate on trying to find the noise source if you are sure it is inside your house. That is far easier than trying to track down a noise source outdoors or somewhere down the road a mile

Hi John, Try turning off different circuit breakers in your house until the noise disappears. Then find out what is on that circuit and unplug them one at a time until the noise disappears. Don't

Hi, all, Trying to get cranked up for the Fall season but severe line noise is really putting a crimp in my MW DXing. It's overpowering during the day, especially on the lower part of the band. It

I don't consider it an issue. Here in North America there are a couple of Navigational beacons on 450 in the Caribbean - one of which I've heard a few times on a 2010 - but not much else. Whatever

Most <$1000 radios have this problem... but its not really a problem. You are losing a total of 2 NDB's on 450kHz. The other nearest ones are 440kHz and 492kHz. As I posted earlier, you can use this

The DX-440/ATS-803 are dual conversion. Also, the Sony 2010 is dual conversion. All exhibit the 455 kHz birdie syndrome though! It can be a definite PITA! Joe

I thought it was common for <$1000 radios to use 455KHZ I.F. (even if they are dual conversion and have another higher I.F. frequency). Then if there is I.F. leakage back into the RF input stage you

Thanks, much appreciated.. so I will go with the 600 or the 660 on the basis of price and closer to an ultralight. Regards. Lee...G6ZSG.

Because I have far more experience using a BFO on a table set for SSB Hams, I have little experience to compare the '600 or '7600 twins for that. All should work though. In my answer, I mentioned the

Do a google for Dream DRM software.. it is free !! I use it wth my Winradio G305i SDR ;-) Lee...G6ZSG.

Thanks for the rundown.. I would have thought the Sony syncros would have been better for ssb than the 600/660 tecsun.. do you find that.. and, do any of them have an external antenna

I have decided to return my PL-505, but I'm still curious about its ability to receive between 1715-2300khz. Is there any PL-505 user who found this working? Thanks.

Hi Allen, Thanks very much for your generous comments on the DXpedition report. And yes, for those of us not fortunate to live in places like Bristol's Hope, we really do need to come up with some

Thanks- FARMERIK

I have both the SONY '7600G and the '7600GR now, and think either will get more listen-able stations than the PL-600 but not by much. Both SONY models have been 100% reliable, and the 1/8th inch mono

Hello All, Heard CKGM 990 Montreal testing on their new frequency of 690 this morning , the official switch over on Tuesday Sep 4 according to reports. 690 - Testing of CKGM 990 Montreal 6:32 -

To hear DRM on the Alinco DX-R8 you will need an SDR application like KGSDR (the one recommended by Alinco) or HDSDR. You'll also need to buy a license key for DRM and install the DREAM application to

Thanks for that Farmerik, it does seem there aren`t any digi ssb radios about, shame... as the variable fiters like the eton g8 and tecsun 380 have would certainly improve conditions on ssb
