Hello All, The digital contenders for the 2010 Ultralight Radio Shootout have now beencollected (or ordered), and are preparing to fight it out for ultimateUltralight glory next month. These include

Scott, I've had pretty good results with mine since day one. Maybe it's my location, don't really know. Looks like I'm going to be limited to reception under 200 miles using the earbuds, but all in

Hi Tony Hi ALL. I use one of those semi portable TV antennas the type that has a circle for UHF and two telescopic's for VHF, remove the circle and you have a fairly nice dipole come beam, some will

I, too, have gotten some action finally! Monday night (8/9), I can't remember the time, I received 750 KOAL in Price, Utah. They had a commercial for "Eastern Utah Federal Credit Union". This was

Thanks Scott. I wish I had access to your proprietary data! One of my limitations was that, being in an urban area, my -60 db readings were difficult, since I was bumping up against the 20 or so dB

A Si4730 is identical to a Si4734 except that it does not support LW and SW bands. The Si4731 and Si4735 add FM RDS/RBDS features. -Scott-

Any idea what their transmitter power is, and how tight the lobe is on their pattern? I think it would need to be a fairly strong signal for me to hear it. It would be competing with the lower IBOC

Antonio, You are correct. The S/N calculation and indicator are completely different in FM and as far as I know, there is no artificial limit. It is important to realize, however, that the S/N

Maybe try HLAZ-1566 in the fall (actually, even in the next few weeks)? They shift their pattern to serve Japan (and, incidentally, western North American DXers) from 1230 to 1345UTC, which would be

Hi Scott, I noticed on my PL-380 on what you said the si4734 and PL-380 limit the indication S/N max. 25dB. I noticed that this is only in AM / LW / SW mode. In FM mode indications I've gotten up to

I have noticed that the Grundig G8 will report an RSSI level greater than 63. I have seen it as high as 85 on local stations. The S/N however is still clamped at 25.

I'm a bit confused here... are we talking 63db reletive to 1 micro-volt? If so thats a 2.0V rf signal. Paul S. in CT

On the topic of overloading near strongtransmitters, I have noticed that car radios have the problem too. I have oftennoticed that as I drive by MW antennas my car radio has issues. SO it isn’tjust

I found a link to a datasheet here: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/pdf-datasheets/Datasheets-2/DSA-21745.html You may have to click the link at the very top of page in blue. I haven't seen any

Rick, You are correct in concluding that the DSP IF is approximately 45 kHz. Well, at least in the case you measured. I'm not certain, but it may change in different circumstances -- an advantage

The Si4734 chip limits the reported S/N to 25. This is simply a limit on the reported number, not a limit on the actual signal's quality. I think the reason that it is limited is due to the
