"The directly-connected ferrite and air core loops always requiremodification to the radio (and possibly the addition of other externalhard-wired components), but avoid the need for a separate tuning

Hi Ralph, As you probably know, because of the response delay in the RSSI andS/N readings on the PL-380 digital display, simply watching the readings inunlikely to be of much benefit in peaking the

I have played around with various ways to shield a loopstick. This provides some improvement, but I have not found anything very satisfying. Jim's "hoop-loop" design, on the other hand, has given me

Sarmento, A transformer-coupled air-loop is very effective. See: http://kr1s.kearman.com/html/hooploop.html Note that the transformer design will work with all kinds of loops which have inductance

Hello Sarmento, Many air core and ferrite core external loops give excellent performancewith the Tecsun PL-380 and PL-310 models, and make DXing a lot more fun. Depending upon your DXing

Gary, Do you have any pictures of the other side of the PCB? I suspect the radio chip is on that side. Thanks, Scott

Robert, all the best with your knee and maybe not a speedier recovery. Enjoy the five weeks and a great knee!! :)

I still suspect there is a way to shield a loop or ferrite antenna with a grounded grid or solid 'screen'. I was hoping an engineer here would have already done this or at least give me ideas for

As a friend (Mike Maghakian) pointed out to me, our location on the extreme west coast of California near SF presents a major issue for MW DXing. To the west we have nothing but ocean, many, many

Thanks, hmm nice but not much point for it somehow....like to know what has happend to the proposed PL-750 2010/7/6 Moisés Knochen <moises.knochen@...>

Hi Scott, The reverse side of the KK-D6110 digital board (pictured below) apparentlyonly has digital switches, the digital display housing, and the male8-pin connector to the RF board. A higher

HI Guys: Well...after a trip to see the Surgeon yesterday, it looks like I'm gonna have some Extra DXing time after Aug/10th!! They are gonna fix my Knee for me .....hopefully, and with Holidays and

These are the links Ms Joyce sent me for the PL-390: SILVER :http://cgi.ebay.com/TECSUN-New-PL390-PLL-World-Band-w-Dual-Speaker-Radio-/120592182930?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Shortwave_Radios&hash=item1c13daae92

What is the link for it on ebay please ? On 6 July 2010 15:33, sjb92338 <sbass@...> wrote:

Joyce emailed me that the PL-390 has the 5 bandwidths like the PL-380, but that the internal ferrite is only 2.4 inches long. Steve Bass

I transplanted a 7.5" loopstick wound with Litz onto the KK-D6110 and it does give it a substantial boost. The stock loopstick is easy to access, as are the solder terminals. It's disappointing, but

Hi After have seen info about these new DSP receivers (like PL310/380) : http://bbs.tecsun.com.cn/0002.asp?open=186695 I wonder if it would support loop antennas, like square air coil or even

As you know, 1560 has been a target freq of mine for about the last week and yielded one new sta during that time. Overnight I managed to ID a second new station there. Interestingly for the last two

I saw this model earlier today, George. It looks like a mini boombox! The auction copy does not mention DSP or multiple bandwidths, but the front panel clearly says "DSP" and there is an "AM BW"

Hello All, Those DXers (including me) who had thought that the new KK-D6110 modelwas a serious attempt by Kchibo to upgrade the D96L model now haveserious evidence to the contrary. After multiple
