Well, if you don't buy off eBay or Amazon, where do you buy them?

Perhaps the most knowledgeable folks regarding cylindrical Li-Ion batteries, and 18650's in particular (because of their enduring popularity starting as components of computer battery packs) are the

Always a great report Gary, Jerry WW0E

Australian stations kicked into high gear at the plunging Rockwork cliff this morning as 558-6WA in Wagin, Western Australia managed a pretty decent signal on a new-design 8 inch (20cm) FSL antennas

I have read with interest the recent posts regarding Hi Q FSL results. Of note is the very high Q and degradation of audio intelligibility as a result of the resulting audio bandwidth

On You Tube a person tested these batteries. The Chinese ones failed. The Japanese ones did well. Powell

@ Rémi Friess the battery in my D-808 is Xhdata branded 2000mA https://i.imgur.com/rFpmUrb.jpg @ Kenny Murray i use vaping gear and i have a lot of 18650 batteries but keep in mind that most vaping

I avoided using the 18650's because the radio i choose was the tecsunpl365 and uses aa batteries. i use 3 aa duracell 2500mah batteries.. no complaints with anything... having said this.. research

I have two D-808's and they show somewhat different results. It's true that they now have different batteries as well, but the radios behaved differently even when they had the same type of

I'm a disabled veteran and funds are very tight. I can't really afford De-Oxit but, I have found a viable alternative. I use CRC QD Electronic Cleaner and it works just fine. I have used it to clean

Mine is an XHDATA labelled cell rated at 2000 mAh.

What sort of battery is it? My D-808 came with a 2000 mAh type. A friend of mine got a set with a 1600 mAh type, another with a 1200 mAh, and it seems some come with 3600 mAh

I've been interested in reading about people's varying experiences with battery life on this radio. Since I had never noticed a problem with battery life on my XHDATA D-808 with its original battery

Thanks for doing the testing Steve. It confirms what I have experienced with some of the specific batteries that you tested. It also confirms what I have read and would have expected about the

Reading my comments, it might seem that I put the on/off switch in parallel with the load resistors but that is not so--I put the switch in series with the load resistors (which were in parallel to

I greatly enjoyed the previous comments about battery life in the Xhdata D-808 radio and how battery life varies so much and was motivated to run some tests of my own. I ran some tests on my own

Remember that for MW, the smaller the ferrite antenna, the worse MW reception will be. Russ Edmunds WB2BJH Blue Bell, PA Grid FN20id From: main@UltralightDX.groups.io <main@UltralightDX.groups.io>

Actually most of the pocket-sized Sangean portables are at least adequate on MW, and some are very good to excellent. Even the worst of them pretty much outclasses the Eton Mini IMHO

While the Eton Mini might not be great at MW, I wouldn't discount everything with the same form factor. I have the Sangean DT-180 and it is fairly sensitive. I believe the selectivity is better than

The assessment of relative performance on MW vs FM is true. I bought the earlier packaging of the Eton Mini a couple of years ago during one of the periodic Amazon fire sales. It is adequate for local
