I have used printouts from the older version of BCMap for Graveyards to keep track visually of what I've heard, but only by using a highlighter on the call letters. I would imagine coloring in the

After driving for 22 hours straight from Delaware to Nova Scotia on New Year's Eve, we made it to my in-laws place in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Snow everywhere up here! Anyway, the PL-310 has been

Gary, THANKS!!! The newer version of BC Maps II is a true wonder. If you print a hard copy of a frequency, you could then color in thecoverage areas that you have already heard to give yourself a DX

Thanks! Also, check to see if there is a pumping on marginal-weak daytime signals (the dreaded soft mute). I used to live in Westport, CT. From there, I needed a good radio to get WBZ and WPRO

Great news, folks. Jim Tonne's BCmap software has been upgraded, and now includes FCC data from 12/1/09. http://tonnesoftware.com/bcmap2.html

Everything was swell until they added X band! But I think SiLabs guarantees it will tune the US AM BC band with one coil. If the range of inductances is correct, that varactor has a wider range than

Jim, I thought about the slide switch and believe this could be the right answer for the reasons you mentioned. The MW band is a pretty large swath of real estate for a single fixed coil to cover.

I'll see what I can do. I usually don't listen in the daytime.- FARMERIK

Good analysis, Chris. I think the length of the leads from antenna to board probably contribute 3-5 pF by themselves. It appears the maximum capacitance the chip's varactor can achieve is between 325

Hi Gary, I found a website which has simplifiedresonant frequency formulas manipulated to easily figure out capacitor andinductor values: http://www.electronics-tutorials.com/basics/resonance.htm.

Happy New Year! Can you do some mid-day testing, and post your observations? Thanks! Heatwave

Hi Chris and Jim, Thanks to both of you for your suggestions, and information. Chris, after removing the PL-310 stock loopstick and discarding theChinese Litz wire, I did try many different 40/44

What Gregory Mosher, Mark Connelly, and I are experiencing is an interesting problem. In the past, an outboard Slider antenna could work to get rid of overloading/desensitizing, because sliding the

Gregory, I have the same problem above 1370 kHz when either a G8 or PL-380 is coupled to a Conti Loop facing south toward Denver. The problem is overloading from a strong local station, KCKK, on 1510

A few days ago I completed a Air Core Add-on to my Tecsun PL310, essentially I performed the 7.5 Inch Loopstick Transplant as described by Gary DeBock (BTW Gary - thants for all your work on this
