Michael,I think that those links were posted in more than one message.The Radiwow R-108 disassembly links are posted below RF Circuit Board

Thanks Remy, <<< I have never used or even seen a C.Crane radio but still, if the D-808 is a copy of the C.Crane and judging from it, “technical innovations” doesn't seem to mean improvement. I

Hi Chris, In the earlier days of the internet, one would have answered "RTFM"... ;) You did it by pressing the appropriate button, the "Info" button. This information is even printed on the set

> Remy, I'm not sure that you understood the original post. > There are no technical innovations in the D-808 model. > > These were all in the development of C.Crane's Skywave SSB model, [...] OK.

Gary, I must have inadvertently deleted a key file... I can't find a comparison between the *R-108 *Supercharged D-108 *xdata 808 Could you repost links, please! Michael UK

Hi Max, <<< Is the section of the ferrite rod rectangular mm 8x4 or round Radius 8 with to flatten sides? >>> The R-108 loopstick's ferrite rod is completely rectangular, with the flat (8mm wide

This is Chris, new to the group. I like my D-808, especially after Gary souped it up! Regarding SSB, when I first clicked the button, it showed LSB. Not sure how I did it but now it only shows

<<< What do you mean exactly? What "technical innovations"? I find the D-808 a very good receiver, but I don't know of any technical innovations. 73, Rémy. >>> Remy, I'm not sure that you

I am very pleased with the stock XHDATA D-808 mw performance. While in Florida recently, I managed to log 225 mw stations in 5 weeks with the farthest being CFAC 960 in Calgary Alberta. Jim

Thanks for the details Gary. Is the section of the ferrite rod rectangular mm 8x4 or round Radius 8 with to flatten sides? I have found this

What do you mean exactly? What "technical innovations"? I find the D-808 a very good receiver, but I don't know of any technical innovations. 73, Rémy.

For those who weren't aware of the fact, XHDATA and Radiwow are actually the same Chinese company, which has specialized in wholesale design appropriation of the C.Crane Skywave SSB's technical

Thanks Paul. I'll see what I can ID on 1260. In all your experiments, have you found any way the narrow pick up patterns for choosing multiple stations per MW freq? -FARMERIK

Thanks, Gary, for confirming that the PL-380 design has changed in a way that now makes it less suitable for supercharging. Something I suspected. Fortunately, the PL-380 is still a nice FM machine!

Hi Gary, thanks for the reply. I was just curious to know what is the advantage on having an higher inductance because i suspected that 430 uH was closed to the high limit. Also, it would be

I'm not sure who you are asking, Max, but the inductance of the PL-380 stock loopstick is about 280 uH, and the "Supercharged" loopstick version is about 350 uH. The internal Si4734 DSP chip is

Hi, what is the inductance of the stock antenna and why making it different ?

Gary, Since the original PL-380's were introduced in 2009 the Tecsun company has attempted to increase profits by significantly reducing the DSP chip shielding in all post 2011-models, resulting in

Does anyone have this radio as a ULDXer? Only 6 transistors, but has a long antenna based that the radio is used long side left to right, instead of up to down. I love the look of the radio. They are

Having some trouble 'supercharging' my Tecsun PL-380. Opened it up, disconnected its internal ferrite antenna and connected a new one I wound on an 8-inch R40C1 ferrite rod from Ming Mak. The signal
