Hello All, For those interested in whether the newer PL-380 models have the irritating"soft mute" function disabled or not, a recent shipment from Joyce at "Anon-co"may be of interest. For

Finally ! The western MI stations disappeared and 1660 NJ was in the clear, lots of Korean language, then exactly at 1800 EST, a tone sounded and in English the station ID: 1660 WWRU Jersey City NJ,

I'm still having problems trying to fall asleep at night. Guess I'm not fully back on schedule yet. Anyway, I tried to see if I could get anything on my 630 kHz UNID from the night before, but

Michael, 73 is"ham speak" for Best Regards. Keith

Mark, I can't think of anything else other than how much elapsed time it took to receive it. Muchisimas gracias! Chris Chris Knight (N0IJK) Fort Lupton,

Thanks Gary & Keith for yor help. I guess the PL-31- is the way to go. One other question though, what does "73" mean? Michael Glynn Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Hi Stephen, WARNING: Long-winded post! Signal to noise ratio is defined as total signal power divided by total noise power in a specific bandwidth. As you observe, the distribution of signal

Hello Scott, Thanks very much for your detailed explanations, which are greatlyappreciated. In the daytime DX sensitivity tests comparing the AM performance of thestock PL-380 and 7.5"

Hello Michael, Thanks for your question. Both the PL-310 and the PL-380 have the loopstick coil turns glued to theferrite bar (without a coil form), so there is no possibility of sliding acoil for

WATH 970 Athens,Ohio 0738 EST 1.4.10 surfaced briefly out of the jumble with call letter i.d."on WATH" then back into the jumble.I could not follow any programming as this frequency was a mess with

All, Here's the correspondence between Ms. Joyce and me: Hi, Jim. I was told that new software has been used by factory for making the receiving status stabler. Others are the same . Thx . /

I find it interesting that an 0dB SNR still would have copyable audio... but I have found it to be true as well. One (or at least I) would think that a 0dB SNR would mean the wanted audio is

Some late night DX'ing yielded another three XE stations..woo hoo. VG conditions for southern signals. I've been chasing some of these stations lised below for more than a month. I'm curious to hear

Jim, When you think about it, determining the SNR of a received signal reliably requires a non-trivial algorithm and/or processing DSP instructions and memory. For signals near or below 0dB SNR, the

I'll be happy to report what I find when my PL-380 arrives (likely in 2 or 3 weeks; fortunately, I'm on the West Coast so I imagine that will help arrival times a bit). So far, open questions are: 1)

toward my location. That would be enought for me to lean toward them EXCEPT for the fact that their website says their format is REL. I don't think they'd be doing an interview with Ann Coulter.

Gary and all: On further inspection, I discovered there is a second screw in the battery compartment of my PL-380. It was covered by a holographic sticker. I push against it, there was the second

While trying to fall asleep last night, Idecided to see what I could hear on my DT-400W. The band was prettygood, lots of signals from the West and Southwest, but didn't want tostay up for the rest

Or, it's simply a newer version. Also oft-mentioned "soft muting" is nearly identical on my PL-310 and PL-380. Richard.

Richard, That's interesting. Yours has the most current s/n yet. The s/n of mine is 36920091000151 with the 11/2009 date. Mine has the two screws in the battery compartment. There is no circuit board
