That would be Pandora, which most of my younger friends (I work at a university) seem to enjoy if not running a playlist of their own. iPods have been around long enough that people may be beginning

Hi Gary - An armchair question/observation abt broadband FSL vs tunable, very narrow passband FSL. What makes UL-DU DX possible for you, with an admittedly 'lesser' receiver and what does the Perseus

This sounds like a not uncommon problem with modern keypads and micro-switches : contact corrosion or wear. I have disassembled keypads and microswitches and gently cleaned the carbon-coated and PCB

Is there hope? Maybe your CATV provider will come to the rescue. Most internet radio stations are not relays of real radio stations... just a jukebox of pre-programmed listening based upon your likes.

Does this PL-390 cheat sheet also apply to the PL-380? I was looking for a PL-380 cheat sheet and this is as close as I could find.... Obviously they are not identical... I just got the radio this

I think I've now broken both my MW/LW and FM buttons (they press but don't do anything). Now the only way I can get into FM is by resetting the batteries (as the default is FM). Shortwave still

The LW range can be switched on and off. Switch off the radio and hold down the MW/LW button. EIther "LW ON" or "LW OFF" will appear. If it's "LW OFF" let the button go and then hold it down again

That fast/slow tuning has got to be the most annoying feature of the Tecsun range. Gaaaaaaa.

My Tecsun 380 has always suffered from having "hard to push" buttons. After a year of light use long wave stopped working. I can get into MW by pressing the MW/LW button, but if I press it too long I

Hi group. Can anyone with a newer PL 380 tell me if it tunes MW using 10kHz increments (not fast slow)? The Grundig G8 which is almost the same radio does 10 kHz only however early reviews of the PL

Hello Allen, Thanks very much for your comments on the recent cliff-side DXpeditions. It would be great if I could track down exotic DX from my living room on an oceanfront estate in a prime DXing

Depressingly true - probably... To the rear-guard referred to in the last two lines below, the term "wireless" conveys a superior meaning :-) Michael

Hi Guy, Thanks for your comments on the 'Top Ten" DU recordings from the Cape! <<< After listening to your recordings from the Cape Perpetua cliff, I was left shaking my head in amazement. As

With increasing awareness of the potential effect of solar or inimical EMP or cyber-mischief on global digital networks, it might be indicated to keep AM and AM receivers in active or

As previously posted, I muse that the wire-netting holding the rockface in place might just possibly conceivably potentially unbelievably disputably make some, be it infinitessimal, contribution to

Richard, Thanks very much for your comments on the recent DXpeditions. <<< I still hope to hear audio from a DU someday. No hets have been heard from that direction since the spring equinox.

Also, Get Off My Lawn! :-) You're right, of course, and I'm not sure they would even bother with something like iHeartradio because the same device has 2000 of their favorite songs available

Hello To All I took a few moments and gave another listen to all the great MP3's from Gary DeBock's Cape Perpetua Ultralight DXing experience on the Oregon coast. Amazing receptions from those

Hi Gary, After listening to your recordings from the Cape Perpetua cliff, I was left shaking my head in amazement. As you know, I was DXing at the very same spot one morning during the "Deja-Vu"

Keith: Those were my thoughts as I typed my earlier comments. I'm not sure the youngsters of today know what a radio receiver is. They already carry around a smartphone or device capable of
