I use a BB charger on mine and it works fine. The old Motorola Razr charger works as well. However, make sure the charger plug that fits in the rx is the trapezoidal shape and not the flattened

Hello all, This has probably been answered before, but can a 5 V, 0.75 A BlackBerry charger with a mini-USB connector be used to charge the PL-380? Thanks, Gary

Thank for the linking the interesting article to our group. I don't see it mentioned, but do you know how many kilograms the super antenna weigh? Good DX. Richard. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N /

It sure is considering you can buy a Grundig G8 from Radio Shack for $49 or $39 if you have a $10 off coupon like I had. I use my G8 as an experimental breadboard, and also have a working portable
