It's certainly possible to push the boundaries as you guys have demonstrated. I've modified a PL-310ET to accept an external MW or LW antenna using a shielded transformer in place of the ferrite that

Another thanks for posting this, Paul. Hope the new V-115 works better for you. My main radio project for 2022 is putting together a show for shortwave radio, Postcard Panorama, a listener mailbag

Nick and All, Steve has certainly exceeded the expectations of the wacky designer of the modified PL-380, for which a full construction article is posted at the following link

Hi Nick Last winter I managed what I thought I’d never do at my home location. That was reception of KBRW on Tecsun PL380 boosted by a Gary DeBock outrigger ferrite rod at my location just east of

Hi Steve, I realise from this part of the East Midlands with urban noise I'm being rather optimistic with an ultralight. Around 6100km from here on the great circle route on a bearing of 351

Agreed...they are built like a tank.

That shows just how well these are made :)-- Paul

Thanks for the information Ken, it sounds like you have found what length works best for you. Paul -- Paul

Gary.. sorry, but I accidentally tested the Paul Walker variant in a way you hadnt intended, yet proved how sturdy this thing is in the process. I was coming in from outside, and put the tote

My recent test on a PL330 when I started with 20m wire and cutting off 5m at a time and testing reception across the SW bands showed that the optimum length of the external wire for this DSP was about

Hi Nick I’m guessing you are somewhere in the UK? If so the best chance of hearing Alaska on MW is KBRW 680. It needs special conditions and the best time to listen isn’t obvious. Just

I’m really not up on how that works in the reverse

Great stuff, if you're hearing those where should I be listening for stuff from Alaska? Nick?

Gary, very useful. I don't know about others here, but I have a tendency to apply the "prune juice theory" to antennas -- ie, if a little bit is good, then a whole lot more ought to be great, right?

Zacharias and All, It is very unlikely that an Ultralight's internal electronics would be damaged by strong signals received by the stock loopstick, However, directly connecting external antennas with

Hi. I suspect that they would have some level of protection, so unless you are standing next to a high power transmitter site, you should not "damage" your radio. Paul -- Paul

Hello these days i have seen signal readouts of 80 and 90/xx in not only PL330 but also on PL380 .These signal can cause overloads to the specific band if not to the whole spectrum .This can happen

Great loggings Paul.
