Just for the record, I'm not just targeting Latin stations these days. I target any station that might be a new one. It just so happens that the Latins are about all I'm finding in the way of new

I look forward to DXing with my PL-310 this spring using the Moxon antenna I recently built. The receiver's selectivity is simply amazing. I also have a PL-380 and it's almost equal to the 310. The

IMHO the PL-310 just seems to keep winning, establishing it as the best of crop of inexpensive DSP radios. The PL-310 is also a few dollars cheaper. If I were limited to picking 2 ULR's over the last

I think the PL310 will be a great FM radio. I haven't really had a chance to chase any Es or tropo with it yet, but I base my optimism on the selectivity of the 310. I also have a Sony XDR-F1HD which

Can such a result be had for Short Wave as well ? Paul

A Tecsun FM Dxing Shootout Three Tecsun receivers were tested for suitability for FM Dxing: PL-310 (#35720100102037) (02/2010) PL-380 (#36920100101623) (01/2010) PL-300WT as a Grundig G8

Since I don't really understand the theory, I have no idea if my questions have simple or complex answers. Work on getting stronger, that's much more important! - FARMERIK

Jim, I hope you feel better soon. At least with your new no-knobs antenna situation you can DX from the sickbed. Have you thought about building one with more turns and feeding it with 300-ohm TV

Has anyone seen a comparison between ferrite rod antenna and air core loops which gives the sizes which are about equal in signal strength? - FARMERIK

I've spent hours looking over Gary's work on all those tuned loops. That is a great resource, and must have taken a long time to build all of those. The formula Bruce Carter put up gives a 12 turn 24

Don't forget Gary's article in this group's Files section, on PVC loop antennas: http://tinyurl.com/yjfd67e This calculator may also prove useful although it does not apparently take into account

Still thinking! The circumference of a 30 inch loop is quite similar to the perimeter of a 2 foot square, does changing the shape make much difference? If my memory of High school geometry is

OK, now I am getting somewhere, at least in my mind. A 30 inch diameter, with 1/2 inch spacing [I think I need that to prevent capacitance between windings?] gets me to 258 uH with 15 turns and the

Hi Tim, Thanks for the reference to the PVC Loop article, also posted at http://www.mediafire.com/?igw1zjwfzmw .Dimensions and spacing for loops from 18" up to 9' (side sizes) are given in atable,

Thanks for the additional explanation, it is clearer to me now. What sort of loop would I wind if I wanted to connect it directly, and not use a torrid [or other] transformer? I believe I would need

Thanks to all who responded. I ended up getting a G5 and have had it for about a day. The G5 seems to be better on MW than the G8, can't tell for sure, as I took the G8 back. The G5 is pretty close to
