Hi Gary I made some experiments with ferrite rod antennas for MW andhave read your work with the ultralight receivers and I'm really impressed withall research and results achieved in this

Hi Stephen I received the PL380 and I'm studying about its RSSI/SNRfeature. I found an interesting review of the PL380 talking a littlebit about its concept, and for sure, it will help to

Very good Tony. I've yet to try my NS-HD01 for DXing. It does have RDS which could aid me in station identification. Richard. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N / 97°26'35"W (Perry OK USA)

It was another good morning of good tropospheric propagation in the heartland and I was able to add a few stations to my log. All were heard on a Tecsun PL-310 using only its whip aerial Times are

If I recall correctly some literature about the 4730/4731 (AM/FM only) indicated about 180kHz for the FM IF very similar to SONY's low conversion of 50kHz AM and 150kHz FM in the CXA1129 chips. One

Tecsun usually has a proprietary CPU/MPU on-board to run the memory functions and display. The temp. sensor could be easily added to that circutry. AFAIK the PL-210 DOES NOT have a DSP chip. hygt369

Glenn Hauser informed me today that K252DA, Enid OK (250W), recently moved from 98.3 MHz to 98.5 MHz. I assume the change is due to strong co-channel interference from "Coyote Country 98.3", KQZQ,

I am interested, Neil. Will you take pay pal? Jim Zozzaro, Milford, MA

I recently bought the Quantum Q-Stick Plus (7.5 inch ferrite rod with a tuning cap) when I toyed with the idea doing ULR Dxing. I found the small size of the radio buttons difficult for my Arthritic

Hi Tom, The PL-210 doesn't specifically mention using the Si4734. They may be using another non-Si DSP scheme doing nothing but audio processing. If it is Si4734 based, using only the temperature

Thanks Steven, I didn't have the '4704-05 data sheet but I do now. You're right, there is nothing in the '4734 sheet, only that the low IF architecture is patented. Rick

Rick, Si Silicon Labs uses "An image-reject mixer" instead of the higher (1st) IF frequency. The 1-line comment can be most easily found at the bottom left of page 19 in the Si4704/05 data sheet.

One eBay seller in the UK claims the PL-210 is DSP based radio. Is this true? Tom Welch Mesa, AZ

Judging from the image of my local 1450kHz station 90kHz above on 1590kHz while standing near the tower, according to Scott Willingham I guessed correctly that the lF of the DSP is around 45kHz.

Hi Guys: My NEW 31st Edition of the NRC Radio Log just arrived in the mail today!! Many thanks to Wayne and everyone involved in the production and mailing of this much appreciated

Paul, I find it interesting that it has the temperature feature that the DSP models include. This makes me wonder if the DSP is still onboard but disabled for all functions but the

Hi, I've just received the PL380 and although I didn't have enough time to have it tested, my initial impressions are good. I am trying my new small ferrite loop antenna and I hope it will be a

Yes, the Stones' "Sitting on a Fence" song is one that could be related to Ultralight reception boosting. Maybe another song of that era "Leaning on a Lamp Post" by Herman's Hermits also applies and
