That’s one of the beautiful things about regenerative tuned loops. They can have sharper selectivity than the radio and can be detuned to favor one sideband or the other. A very well made FSL will

Yes, here in Australia we have the ACMA database which gives the "straight line" distance between my location and the station Ihear, this is the distance I use. Paul -- Paul

Hi Bill, I rate all the signals out of 5 and then use the below to work out the index value. 1 = 1.1 2 = 1.4 3 = 1.9 4 = 2.4 5 = 3 ULDXIndexValue = DistanceKM / PowerW * SignalLevel Paul -- Paul

These might be a bit bulky for UL use, but there are simply no finer DX headphones than these. They are the standard for every radio station I ever worked at, for video production, etc. I got my

Well I certainly didn’t pick anything up from there Paul! 🙂

Well done. I have been a bit slow with starting my DXing for 2022, my work on MWDXerDB has taken up most of my spare time.

Those are just callsigns of some stations to use as examples. Paul

Down in Tasmania. I know they were working 20 and 40m bands.

The PL380 does not come with a charger. If I bought an adapter when buying the radio, would it recharge its batteries as well as powering the radio?

Yea, whatever you do, don’t use the evil Google. I use this site to obtain ‘as the crow flies’ distances: https://www.doogal.co.uk/MeasureDistances.php Drifter

My inclination is to use miles to the farthest station heard in a session. Google miles gives shortest road distance. This like bragging about the biggest fish you caught.

Hi Paul, How is the ULDXIndex assigned? Is it a reception difficulty index? Bill

My small JVC headset amplifies the sound and eliminates ambient noise. Only one ear, of course. Earplugs are not as good. What are other options?

Hi Paul, Was cruising along quite quickly at first... 24 States! But now it has gotten more difficult as the states are further and further away.... J

Everybody's gear sounds AWESOME! I need to stop buying radios though!!! LOL!!! Johnny

Hi Bill, I just got a Sangean 909X2, and I LOVE It! It is my favorite radio easily... But I do still love my Eton Elite Mini and my 2nd favorite amongst the rest of the radios I have. Really trying to

Paul, I like the idea if an index but do not understand the codes: GG, CA, AN. Do all UL radios have this info?

Right. But the trouble is many ultralights tune in 1kHz steps. 1kHz is often not enough and 2kHz is often too much.

Robert, thanks for the clarification.

Selectivity is a combination of the channel selection filter’s bandwidth and how steeply the filter attenuates frequencies outside the filter’s bandwidth. Narrow filters have greater
