Late this afternoon (2250 UTC), I logged a second station on the previously dead-to-me* 1070 kHz courtesy of the new C.Crane Skywave receiver (again barefoot using its internal antenna). The new

That goes far beyond the usual tweaks in a custom radio. I'm excited to see one that the mods are more than paint deep! I wonder if we will see a Redsun variant?? Mark B. N8PGV

Very interesting to compare the jpgs of both! It does indeed look as though the AR 1377 begat the Skywave. Great, but why-oh-why do they not include the simplest and cheapest mod which will

Hi Marc, Thanks for posting the photos of the AR1733's internal circuit boards (RF and Digital boards). But if you look at the photo of the front of the CC Skywave's RF board (posted

Hello Microcode, <<< As usual yahoo strips the attachments so we didn't get to see your pic of the sizes of the two radios. Would it be possible for you to host it on your mediafire along with

Better now, Look how they resemble the ... CCrane radio! http://dxradio.dommel.be/research/jaycar2.jpg http://dxradio.dommel.be/research/jaycar1.jpg I would love to hear Dr Gary's reaction! Marc

You mean FUBAR Yahoo SNAFU? Adrian KF7DYU

I would be curious how the Traverer III and Skywave compare on AM for ordinary long range listening as stock radios. -FARMERIK

I am not sure what the quick tuning feature is but the main feature of ETM is the alternate set of memories. I don't know if the radio is an upgrade of the original 310 because I didn't have one. But

The emails for the group don't contain any attachments. So mebbe it's a problem with yagoo hoops ;-)

Huh? All of Gary's attached pix in recent messages have appeared for me, accessing the group on-line.. so mebbe it's a problem at your end? Theo

Perhaps I missed this, but what are the differences in the standard Tecsun PL-310 vs. the "ETM" version besides the quick tuning feature. I assume this is the same for the 360 and 380 models? Are the

Hi, I have been reading the articles on your site shootout trying to decide which portable to get next for MW DXing. Am I reading you correctly that the Superadio III is just too hit or miss to be a

Great report Gary and I agree the Skywave is a nifty little package...I think both it and the Eton Traveller III are significant improvements over many earlier DSP portables in terms of AM

Gary, I am looking forward to listening to your MP3s. Thanks for doing such a complete test and sharing your results. As usual yahoo strips the attachments so we didn't get to see your pic of the

I agree LW coverage missing is disappointing but LW performance with a short stick doesn't really seem worth pursuing unless you live in an area with LW broadcasts. I mean to say LW DXing with these

Thanks for all the info on the new Skywave. I sense that we may be at the crest of what this family of Si chips can achieve. For aficionados outside the obvious target area, the lack of LW is a

Hello All, With clear weather and lots of open space in our back yard, it was time for a full Shootout between the Si4734-chip-powered Tecsun PL-380 and the new Si4736-chip-powered C.Crane Skywave

Hello, I wanted to put some pictures on yahoo, but I don't get a result, and maybe they will appear tomorrow? I also put them here, look how they resemble the CC radio, or they do not

Those considering or ruminating on the new Eton Satellit receiver might do well to view Tom Stiles "series" of YouTube's on the unit, and also note that after a crash-and-getting-it-working-again,
