CORRECTION-The 9.25 inch coil is a rook instead of a diamond weave pattern.-FARMERIK

Thanks- I have at least a half dozen S/N's of 25 across the dial tonight. I am comparing Gary's 7.5 inch ferrite, the 350uH Rook [I thought it was Diamond weave] and a low impedance Diamond Weave

Hey Stephen: I think that is another symptom of the overloads that occur in your location. With all that RF energy flying around, it's not hard to imagine that the front end gets desensitized. It

Hey Farmerik - yes, that's the max on all of the Tecsun models. That, in addition to the fact that the SNR automatically goes to zero if not tuned on-frequency, are a couple oddities on them. Also,

The highest S/N I am getting seems to stop at 25. Is that the top of the range? [PL-360 with Hi-Q coils as antennas]. - FARMERIK

What would be some recommended stations to try near the upper end of the band? Most of my local 63,25 blowtorches are concentrated at 1170 and below, plus a few almost-as-strong ones at 1240, 1360,

I'm finding the AM skirt selectivity is atrocious on my PL-380. The FM, however, is quite good. Recently (probably a few weeks ago now) I was near the tower site of a combined AM (KOGO-600, IBOC,

Hello Kevin, Farmerik and Others, For those of you with a PL-380 that doesn't show any RSSI numbersabove 69, maybe you need a super-fanatic 7.5" plug-in loopstick PL-380, like themodel below! (this

Hi Stephen, A couple of vibrant upper-band DU's are 1512-2RN (10 kw) and 1548-4QD(50 kw). Both are ABC (Australian government) stations, and can boom inwhen conditions are right. 1512-2RN produced

Hi Scott: I did the comparisons as part of the G8/PL-300WT review I did a few months ago. Look in "Files > 3 Radios, Reviews, Manuals > Radio Reviews" for the "Grundig G8 Review.pdf" here on the

Hello All, The months of July and August are the peak season for DU (down-under) DXchasing on the west coast, and for those Ultralight Radio users luckyenough to live close to a Pacific Ocean beach,

Kevin, Could you elaborate on this please? In what ways are the DSP filters in the Tecsun receivers inferior to any analog portable radios? How did you measure this? -Scott-

Ooops! I meant the PL-310, not the PL-380. As we all know there is no external antenna jack on the '380. Fingers moving quicker than brain again. Rick W4DST

Hi Mike, The external antenna jack for SW/FM is what interested me in the PL-380. I do have a much modified Grundig G8 with an added FM antenna jack but being a radio fanatic, I decided I also

Hi Paul - thanks for the info. It makes sense that the RF amp would only be for SW and FM. I was thinking of receivers in which the RF stage amp was selectable (which I think was what Neil was

I've been experiencing a real DXing drought for the last month or so. Been following 4 or 5 UNID stations during that time with no results until early this morning when I was able to finally nail down

Actually, it sounds like hash considering the numerous devices, but power-line generated noise is a buzz. Sodium vapor or Sodium Argon Street-lights are the worst offenders. Even in operation at

Actually, RF-Bosters are in Ultralights... just not intended for the AM-BCB. Both the Eton E100 and Tecsun PL-200 have them, and I presume the new PL-210 will also have it. These work on FM and SW

Heya Rob, Congratulations on the new station! We're thinking of you today, and hope your recovery goes well AND is filled w/ some good DX. 73, Kirk Allen Ponca City, OK

Hi Rick. Bit late for a reply as only just joined, I sent my PL-380 back, for one thing no external antenna socket, guys said get a 300 which has one, mine had a slow DSP it just would not catch up
