Hi Paul........CHOU 1450 Radio Moyen-Orient Montreal also broadcasts in ARABIC and I have heard them quite a bit over the last few years. They get out quite well. It is much closer to you and I would

I've been hearing this tonite on the PL-310 for a steady hour. A lookup indicates only one ethnic staation WCEV Cicero IL. However, there is also noted international 1449 R. Free Libya rated 500kW

Yes. I think you need to ensure that the inductance of the secondary of the matching transformer is of a value that allows the radio innards to tune across the band you're interested in. Measuring

Hi Paul, Thanks very much for all of your detailed work to create this suggested Ultralight Radio group logo! It's obvious that you invested a lot of time and effort to design and create the logo--

Hi Michael, Hans, John, N3IKQ and all, It's true that the Si4734 DSP chip in the PL-380 can adjust to a fairly wide range of loopstick coil impedances (nominally 150-450 uH), but the stock PL-380

True that, that's what I did so I could swap out AM/LW loopsticks. I'm just not sure that folks realize that this is not your ordinary radio front end. With signals going directly into a chip, you

Hello All, Asian signals sounded pretty ghostly this morning, with their worst performance since Halloween. From 1315-1430 a die-hard collection of big guns on 594, 693, 774, 828 and 972 took turns

There is if you have removed the internal antenna and added a 1/8" jack to plug in your 7.5" loopstick. ;') John ];') ---In ultralightdx@..., <n3ikq@...> wrote: There is no external antenna

There is no external antenna input on the PL-380. The DSP chip needs an inductor for AM/LW and a whip/wire for SW. The details are in the documentation at Silicone Labs website. ---In

The jack can be used to connect to the radio and can also be used to passively couple a wire antenna to the radio. The manual for the Terk does mention it. 73, kevin kc6pob

I don't think he is talking about directly soldering wires to the PL-380 antenna inputs. I think he is trying to match his 50 ohm coax to the input impedence of the antenna input using a torid

You're absolutely right, Rick. The best results I've achieved with the Quantum loop + PL-380 combo is when the Quantum is inductively coupled to the 7.5" loopstick on the modified PL-380, by means of

Caught KCJJ at 9:35 EST. Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. 73, Stan, WA1LOU ---In ultralightdx@..., <ferrite61@...> wrote: Thats a very nice catch Stan. Theres also KCJJ thats on 1630, the latter is

It seems that the UZ-77 is available, but shipping outside of Japan is not. Taking a wild guess, I would say that you could expect at least the same performance from a Quantum loop from Radio+. Gerry

Neat artwork, Paul! To the uninitiated, that "boatanchor" FSL just might give a misleading impression of "ultralight" . . . I still want to see Gary with it on a tightrope! Michael

Hi all, Today I had some spare time so I had a play around with a possible logo for the group. Let me know any feedback on it

 Stan, Iguess like most things you get what you pay for hi! The loop sounds a whole lot betterthan my wire wrapped around a soap powder box!!!!. Well done on the new catch fromIowa.
