Re: More Radio Articles and Designs

Thanks, Phil. I especially enjoyed your article "Si4734 Offset Tuning." I'm going to give these techniques a try on my PL-380. It's too bad the signal meter isn't functional when doing offset

Re: Ferrite loop antenna

Steve - Are you referring to the Ferrite Sleeve antenna, or just a regular ferrite loop? I've fiddled with both and although I haven't managed to construct an FSL to some of the specs that other

Hello to All Decent propagation last evening considering the higher solar K index reading at 3. Once again some strong signals at near local levels through the later evening. A few more domestics

Re: More Radio Articles and Designs

Phil, Thanks for the great article! (2011 Buying Guide) Do you find that the older Grundig G5/Eton E5 pretty much performs the same as the DE1103? I still have my G5, and was wondering where it

Ferrite loop antenna

Has anyone got any further with testing the ferrite loop antenna? I have just rediscovered the original article and wondered if it was worth building. Steve

Comparing Quality of Radios

I was hoping to get opinions about two radios. I just bought a Grundig G4000A AM/FM/SW Radio - http://amzn.to/jPWQrK for $70. I read many reviews and it seemed to be the best radio in my price range

I Needed Another Radio Like a Hole in the Head...

They say that we preachers collect Bibles (I have probably 30 of them) and DXers collect radios. UL DXers collect UL radios... For Father's Day, I bought myself a Grundig G-8 at Radio Shack.

Re: Audiophile modifications for DSP Ultralights?

I use efficient speakers on my DSP radios. Most will drive one [old] Avery Fisher book shelf speaker across the R+L channels for mono. The CR-1100 will drive a pair of them for stereo, or an 8 inch

Re: Audiophile modifications for DSP Ultralights?

Hi Zim: Good idea! Fortunately, most of the manuals are in the Files section. I see the PL-606 specifies a 32 ohm headphone, while the PL-310 says 8-32 ohms. This seems to confirm that the audio

Re: Audiophile modifications for DSP Ultralights?

Many of these little radios are intended to be usedwith relatively high impedance headphones (60 Ohm or so) Reduced bass can occur with low-Z phones due to the relatively small

Re: New Stations Since 5/12/11

Hi Kirk: Glad to hear you're out of harms way - I've been thinking about all of you down there. As for the new DX, those are some nice catches, especially the Cuban! The band is pretty

New Stations Since 5/12/11

Hi Everyone, As far as I've hrd so far, the DXers in Oklahoma are all okay and safe. Since the reports began hitting the media of damage/casualties due to the wx that began on Sunday evening, this is

Re: Audiophile modifications for DSP Ultralights?

Hi Mark: Thanks for the tip! As it turns out, I had a FiiO E5 languishing in my gear box, banished there because it didn't quite raise the volume of a very low-powered MP3 player up to acceptable

By Kevin Schanilec · #14823 ·

Re: Audiophile modifications for DSP Ultralights?

To improve bass, I'd also recommend the FiiO E5 headphone amplifier. It's a very small, very simple little amp that charges off a USB connector. It has a volume control and a switchable bass boost. I

Hi Keith: Thanks. Actually, that's exactly what can be blamed for this latest interest :-) A little bit ago I upgraded to a pair of Sennheiser PX-100's for commuting and general DXing, and found a
