That may be old information. I don’t seethe G5 on their web site. Maybe they already sold them all? I supposeindividual stores may still have stock.

On that subject yet, OT. I just read that the G5 is being put on clearance at RadioShack's that have them. Just FYI. It's a great rig in the DE/KA 110x series of radios IMHO. ---- neilkj6fba

The definition of "Ultralight" radios seemingly excludes radios with SSB or sync capabilities since they would have an unfair advantage. However, radios with DSP are readily accepted. Does not a DSP

Hi Neil, Kevin and Others, Kevin's detailed explanation concerning the unsuitability of SSB in"consumer-grade" Ultralight radios is quite profound, and reflects the originalthinking of John Bryant

Spreadsheet may have been going by "old" WBMX on 98.5, which is now WBZ-FM. It transmits from Needham Heights (a bit south of Route 9, and just off Routes 128/I-95), about 10 miles west-southwest of

Hello Gary Thank you for your comment that is much appreciated. I agree, that a 6' or even bigger loop would boost LW reception wildly and I hope, that you'll find time to prove it. My idea was to

John: Congratulations on your successful session. I monitorwd your activity on the Internet Sunday night. With the typical August high temperatures and low humidity, tropospheric propagation has

Thanks, Mark. I was using Gerald Westerberg's FM spreadsheets for the distances to WXKS and WBMX,

Don't ask me how I missed that. Dumb me. I guess I never look up 1040. I was thinking it was my receivers and maybe something to do with HD hsssssssssssssssssssss So NYC ESPN 1050 'is' also on

Thanks Paul. I have tried the G5 - it seemed about as good as my Sony 7600GR on LW. Both respond quite well to the Q Stick on LW, FWIW. Unfortunately, I think my biggest challenge is that I live

OT: point about LW performance "LW on the G8 is abysmal, while it is passable on the PL-310 and PL-380. Truth be told, without a good external or big passive loop, I seriously doubt you would hear any

If we're talking Ultralights, then Tecsun makes a good variety of consistently high-quality radios. Right now there's the R-911, and R-9012 analogs, and the PL-300wt, PL-310, and PL-380 DSP models.

Hey Scott: The PL-310 is the sensivity champ by a modest amount on both AM and FM bands over the PL-380. Both are head and shoulders, and perhaps a few ribs and vertebrae, above the PL-300WT (G8) on

OK, so I've been doing a little more looking around. Is the Tecsun PL-380 still king of the hill when it comes to MW and FM? I mean, aside from the PL-310, with its larger loopstick. And is it, or the

No one took me up on my offer to buy their PL-310. Not even an outrageous offer. That is about as good an endorsement as can be had if no one on a list this big wants to sell theirs. This morning I

Hey Scott: The Grundig/Eton brands are, IMO, very unreliable quality-wise. On the other hand, every Tecsun I have ordered has been great. If you are doing AM and FM, I think the Tecsun PL-310 or

Scott, Grundig Mini 300 (aka Tecsun R919): hard to do any serious DXing with it, because it's hard to tune in to one station (and it drifts), but a very fun little radio for casual bandscanning. Mine

It's not very good as I stated before. Powell NNNN POP email is powell at backroads DOT net From: Scott Macatee Well, that looks like a consensus there, folks. Is the mini 400 any better?

Hello Peter, Thanks very much for sharing the details of Henry's compact LW loop with us, and also the performance report on your new loop's LW sensitivity. Theexperiment sounds very interesting,
