Hi all: Thanks to Gary DeBock's insights as to the size and features of the new KK-D6110, it is indeed an Ultralight as per the Definitions. The Definitions Committee (Gil Stacy, Joe Miller and

Re: My 7.5 inch antenna from gary

Hi Gary: I did NOT mean to disappear on you after receiving my 7.5" ferrite, but other events here put DX and ULR matters very much on the back-burner for about 6 weeks. Allow me to add my voice to

Re: Kchibo KK-D6110 AM-FM-SW DSP Receiver- First Impressions

Also, Gary, how does it (and the other DSP radios) behave near strong signals? I realize the apparent selectivity is good, but what's the RSSI when tuned 15-20kHz off a strong local like your 1450?

Re: Kchibo KK-D6110 (Tuning step workaround for PL-380)

Hi Gary, Yes, it's true that the quirky dual tuning rate of the PL-310, PL-380 andPL-360 models is very unpopular with some DXers, although most hobbyistseventually learn to tolerate it. The

Re: Kchibo KK-D6110 AM-FM-SW DSP Receiver- First Impressions

Hi Richard, My initial comparisons with the PL-310 and PL-380 models indicated that theKK-D6110's soft mute threshold is similar to that of the PL-380, sothat weak AM signals do not cut in and out

I use a BB charger on mine and it works fine. The old Motorola Razr charger works as well. However, make sure the charger plug that fits in the rx is the trapezoidal shape and not the flattened

It sure is considering you can buy a Grundig G8 from Radio Shack for $49 or $39 if you have a $10 off coupon like I had. I use my G8 as an experimental breadboard, and also have a working portable
