Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

I seem to be having difficulty with getting posts to send, so I'm rewriting this. (The undo close tab trick didn't work for this one.) Take 3 (or is it #4 yet? I've lost count)... I'll look forward

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

I'll look forward to seeing a revised TP/TA article. Would it be too unreasonable for me to expect to see it by the year 10,000 considering all the other projects you now have going? :) So what would

Re: non-destructive coupling of hoop loop to PL-310

(Reposting, as it seems my first post didn't go through. Thankfully I was able to pull this back up with Chrome's undo close tabs function.) You wouldn't by any chance know if the PL-3x0 has a tuned

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Hi James, Thanks for the clarification. I'm certainly no expert on theAnguilla-1610 station or its history, but it is the onlyCaribbean station I've ever received here in western Washington (along

PL360 PL380 PL310 stand

I've built a small stand that supports any small receiver at an angle, (like 45 degrees) and as the stand is movable 360 degrees horizontally like a turntable the internal ferrite (or outrigger) can

Re: non-destructive coupling of hoop loop to PL-310

You wouldn't by any chance know if the PL-3x0 has a tuned RF front end amplifier, does it? I'm guessing it does not. If it DID have one, or if there was a way to put one in my PL-380, I wonder of my

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Hi Stephen, About 2 years ago I was tuning the 1610 kHz frequency with a C.Crane SWP Slider model (a western Washington creation concoctedtogether with John Bryant, having a weirdly sensitive 7.5"

Re: non-destructive coupling of hoop loop to PL-310

You're welcome Tony. I'm glad I can provide good explanations. It's been said that one doesn't understand something well until one can explain it to someone else. I take that to heart and do my

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Those of you interested in supporting your receiver, I suggest you read John Bryant's article "Working with Universal's Radio Stands". It can be found in the "Antennas and Equipment" folder of our

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

What's this 1610-Anguilla station you're referring to? Around here, all I get on 1610 is either static, atmospheric noise, or hints of TIS's, even though I'm far enough away from the nearest TIS on

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Phil: So far I've either hand held the PL-360 or placed it on its back while DXing. Because its base is so small (53 x 23 cm, or 2 x 7/8 inches) it's easily tipped over. Therefore, I would

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Gary's antenna holds the radio at an angle, so it is easy to see the display and controls laid on a table or 'turntable'. It is a very convenient set up. - FARMERIK

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Hi Richard, Your suggestion certainly makes sense. It's better not to takechances, especially with an antenna longer than the PL-360 itself :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 5/23/2010 6:00:19 P.M.

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

I was going to ask this in a new thread, but this seems to kind of fit here. I have a PL-360 on order and Gary has been kind enought to agree to build one of his 7.5" amidon plug in loopsticks fro me.

By Phil Pasteur · #9560 ·

Re: Some random observations on the PL-360

Hi Phil, Actually the PL-360 7.5" plug-in loopsticks have a rubber hose lockingsystem which fits over the whip antenna tip, so you are free to tip the radioany way you wish, without the loopstick
