Re: Exec Traveler vs Skywave & ? -FARMERIK
I measured 5-5/16 x 3-3/8 x 15/16 inches, which equals 16.8 cubic inches.

Any other Eton Exec. Trav. owners here? Perhaps others with the radio in hand could measure and see what they find. - FARMERIK

Tim and Rick,
If the basic cabinet (case) of the Eton Executive Traveler exceeds 20 cubic inches in volume, it would be a deal breaker for Ultralight Radio qualification.
We had a borderline

Re: Exec Traveler vs Skywave & ? -FARMERIK
I just measured mine at 13.4 x 8.6 x 2.4.
The listed 3.05 depth you mention must include the antenna folded across the back of the radio.
The 8.9 must include the case and feet.

The Eton Executive Traveler's dimensions are given in inches as 5.3 x 3.5 x 1.2 which is 22.26 cubic inches, or in centimeters as 13.46 x 8.9 x 3.05 which is a bit over 365 cubic centimeters. So

Thanks to all who replied. I ended up purchasing the Eton Exec. Trav. and I am happy with it. It does seem quite sensitive among ULR's, audio is also very good for a ULR. And as mentioned the RSSI

This comes in well here on my Westerly BOG, and there are not too many stations on 1000 KHz so a good freq to try this evening. -FARMERIK

Gary-
Thanks for bringing together your articles in one post. I wish they all were in the files here. From my Connecticut location, I don't plan any Trans Pacific DXing, but the equipment you build

Re: Try Something New This DX Season!
Thanks Michael,
Your comments are appreciated.
But I guess one of the side effects of having a surplus of enthusiasm is a reluctance to go to sleep at a decent hour, as multiple future antenna

Inspiring input, Gary!
Autum is a good time to look through such
articles and consider what to try in the
winter months.
Thanks for keeping us curious and active!

Re: Ultralight DX on an Airplane?
You can even use superhets to decode SSB transmissions with a receiver that does not have SSB. You tune one set to the wanted frequency and the other 455 kHz below (provided it is single conversion)

Superhet radio receivers are those that have a local oscillator and can emit a radio signal.
A quick course in basic superhet theory.
There are two main frequencies at play in a superhet - the
