Hi Paul, Thanks for sharing your very interesting information. A couple of years ago I got a great deal on 2300mAh AA NiMh batteries that I use in all my AA applications. I was glad to get NiMhs

As you may remember, I do a battery test on all my radios. For those new here a quick review of others I own: Tecsun R911 and Kaito WRX911: 480 hours Continuous: End of Life 0.95 to 1.0 Volts per

I checked in at blog.sina.com.cn using G-Translate. Yup, the 3-step attenuator is listed (anti-mirror reference) in a different translation providing High/Med/Low signal strength. Meaning it will have

Hi Marc, Thank you for posting the link to this most impressive radio. This is a Si473X hacker's dream and it looks like nothing has been left. Especially interesting to me is the BNC connector for

This morning a little after 4 am, I heard something different than normal on a particular frequency. It seemed there were possibly 2 stations fighting it out, but as I kept listening a religious

Hello Marc, Thank you for your information, comparing the PL-360 7.5" plug-in loopstickperformance with the original loopstick + antenna tuner combination. Also, I remember that you found a way to

Hello, Compared with the original loopstick from the antenna tuner, the pl-360 loopstick gives an increase of 927kHZ +3dB 603kHz +8dB The antenna tuner and its ferrite bar are

What RF hash issues are you talking about, Gary? Did someone build a multiplexing AM antenna farm right at the Grayland DX beach location with 50kW IBOC transmitters on each of 540, 630, 720, 810,

Considering how good some of your ultralights seem to be (although mine by comparison seems to be a dud - i'm getting 50,00 readings and severe desensitization across half the band right outside the

I hope you will still have time to wind some LW BCB versions for the PL-360-FARMERIK

Hi Stephen, You bring up some good points to share with some of the list's newer members. The first is the "unpredictability" of very strong signals. All radios can be overloaded with strong enough

I'm not Scott, but I'll offer my thoughts and experiences with my PL-380. As an intro, I have seen wildly variable numbers in different cases. For example, let's say I'm within a few miles or so of

Hi Bill, The SNR figure is calculated by a proprietary DSP algorithm, and neither the RSSI nor audio output directly play a role. The input to the algorithm is the filtered IF signal before

Yes, the RSSI readings are pretty accurate for most uses (especially for relative readings). They could easily be calibrated with an external attenuator for even more absolute accuracy. At very

Hi Farmerik, Yes, I certainly plan to do this, and regret that the PL-360 LW loopstickproduction was delayed because of the Oregon DXpedition (and the related crashproject to modify the PL-380

Hi Mark, Thanks very much for your comments on the DX received during theLincoln City, Oregon DXpedition with Ultralight gear. Chuck H., Bruce P., Patrick M. and my local friend Guy Atkins are

Hi Scott, Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding regarding the RSSI readings being taken from the input not the output of the LNA. That makes the radio almost a low cost selective voltmeter.

Scott, Could you tell us how and where the SNR figure is measured for display? Does the RSSI value work into it, or is it derived from audio output? Thanks, Bill
