"Mostly" is pretty vague. The Tecsun line all seem to be built on the
Silicon Labs, maybe better known as SiLabs, chips. Silicon Labs is a

Thanks for posting the article.
I’ve been FM DXing since 2010 using barefoot Tecsun ULR, primarily a PL-606. To date I’ve logged 876 stations from across North America. I have tried using

AM radio that use a chip for the receive circuitry
I'm following a thread on a group with an argument about whether new AM radios are now mostly designed with a chip
for the radio receive circuitry.
Does anyone have a website with either a list of

Recently I have purchased a small A/B audio switch box, this is being used for direct audio / signal testing of various radios.
I have mounted this in a small case and have run two 3.5mm audio

Re: FSL antenna for SW?

Hello Igvitk,
Litz wire and ferrite optimized for the MW frequencies really isn't recommended for SW performance. Especially in a sharp-tuning FSL antenna, going outside the recommended frequency

FSL antenna for SW?
#ultralightdx
Hi all! I was trying to make 3 inch FSL antenna for MW band, but I ordered less than necessary of AWG 250/46 litz, and did not get the required inductance (just 180 uh instead of 350 uh). As a result,

Re: Radio listening as a career
Paul,
I was keen on radio as a child, inducted into the hobby by my father from the age of about 6. Whilst still at school, I applied for a monitoring position at the BBC’s Caversham Park site.

Thanks for the info, Gary. I just got a very good deal on a GE Super Radio 1 so I'm hoping to get some good DX with it. I know its not UL, but at this point I can't afford to put a lot of money into

Now we know why many of us are receiving weak signals :
Gary's FSL array is sucking in most of the RF energy :-)
