Thanks Keith. And for what it’s worth (JIC anyone is interested) the 910 has a thumb wheel ala pl-310. The 920 has knob ala pl-380. -- Bob Richardson

I used a 910 for several years, now MIA. Mine was very good on MW and SW, not so good on FM if that matters. I took it along on a vacation trip to Idaho, and it was pulling in stations at night from

Back 8-9 years there are post about the Tecsun DR-910 being a turkey. They are listed new on eBay @ $19.99 with free shipping. Have any of you learned radio sages played with these enough to know of

Thank you!! ms

Folks I've started the process of updating the TIS/HAR list (will take a month or two). If you have logged a TIS/HAR station in the last 2 years, please forward the details to me at DXM.EiC@.... Call,

Thanks Gary, your explanation is very clear as always.

This was in my email yesterday. No endorsement implied, but I'm glad that there are some Ultralights still on the market out there.... Mike Sanburn

Hi Max, Actually there have been quite a few FSL's hard wired into DSP-chip Ultralight radios, and some of them work quite well. Most of the attempts have been with the Tecsun PL-380, which seems to

I noticed that passive coupling of a 20" air loop antenna with capactitor to a DSP radio gives better signal than removing the internal ferrite and wiring it directly. Although the DSP chip has an

Thanks Gary. The FSL is very easy to master on radios like the 2010, 803A, 880 etc and similar. The later DSP chip radios like the Skywave etc requires some skill to hear the "peak" as they are quite

Thanks to Steve Ratzlaff for notifying me re the March, 2012 Gary DeBock FSL article. I uploaded the file to the antenna

Gary, I'll definitely take your advice and cut the wire long by a few turns for experimentation. And I'm assuming full turns only -- that partial turn winding (like 27.5) aren't valid. Best, Chuck

<<< Gary, That makes sense and I totally understand that disclaimer. The rods I obtained are rated with a permeability of 400, which I believe is the same as the Russian surplus units. Unless there

Chuck, Thanks for the additional information about the Chinese-made 140mm x 8mm ferrite rods. Unfortunately, since my own FSL was constructed with the Russian surplus ferrite rods ordered from a

Gary, Thank so much for that, I'm glad you've already had success with the very design I'm building! I did obtain the 140mm x 8mm rods from a different source since sufficient quantity wasn't

Thanks Gary for both the instructional video, and informative technical construction details. Based on all the factors involved, I suggest that building an FSL antenna is much more challenging than

Hi Chuck, <<< To follow on to Todd's question, I am gathering parts to construct the 3.5" Frequent Flyer FSL and have obtained 27 140mm x 8mm ferrite rods (instead of the specified 160mm x 8mm) 45

Hello Gary and all, First, a huge thank you to Gary and the community of people who worked on this body of knowledge. The FSL is exactly what I've been looking for to complement my Tecsun PL-660

Hi Again Todd, <<< Recently an Australian DXer constructed a 135 mm diameter MW FSL using forty one Jaycar LF1010 (9 x 100 mm) ferrite rods. These rods are more affordable than anything else
