Re: FM DXing on Ultralight Radios

I've not really tried the SRF59 for FM, but I have tried the Sangean DT-200VX. The real issue with the Sangean is selectivity - or more precisely the lack of it. Forgetting the dreaded IBOC for this

Re: SRF-T615 versus filter-modded E100

Now I'm getting tempted!...I am inland also...domestic dx is my interest...daytime, I like the E100 slider on frequencies away from the part of the dial loaded up with locals (1300-1550), and a G6

Re: SRF-T615 versus filter-modded E100

In looking at Gary's shootout results, the 615 has very modest selectivity, even compared to the stock e100. I agree - despite its sensitivity, it needs a selectivity boost for splits. I notice that

Re: An Excellent Overnight

FB, John, on the WBZ. I'd be fibbing if I said I wasn't jealous. Between you and Richard Allen, I'm gettin' skunked on the far NE stations. Would it help if I learned how to talk like a Yankee? Ooops,

Correction....Make That 960 CFAC Calgary, ALBERTA.......not CFAN

Hi Guys: OK...I guess I was up WAY TOO LATE last night trying to Log the Calgary ESPN on 960!!!! After all that, I listed the callsign for this as.......CFAN...when it indeed should be CFAC!!!

SRF-T615 versus filter-modded E100

If one already has an Eton E100 with the filter modification, would there be any advantage to having a Sony SRF-T615 ? Most important consideration here is selectivity for split-channel foreign DX.

By MarkWA1ION · #2025 ·

Re: SRF-T615 versus filter-modded E100

Hi Mark, If 9 kHz split-channel selectivity is your mainpriority in DXpeditions, then the Sony SRF-T615 is probably not going to thrillyou. Its stock IF filter is nothing to shout about, and

Re: A large loop

Hey Gil: About a year ago I took two 8-foot pieces of lumber and made a cross out of them, then strung up a loop with maybe a 7-8 turns or so and put the tuning varicap on. You're right - the gain

Re: A large loop

Kevin, He has a little Sony rx as his "spotter". Best I've ever done on an xtl set is PJB in Bonnaire--about 1600 miles, but that is almost a watershot from here in Savannah. Across dirt, 1000

Hey John: Gary, while working on the prototype ContraCoil Slider, will hopefully chime in, since he wrote in a few months back about FM DXing on the little guys. I forget which model(s) he thought

Re: A large loop

Wow, I hope he doesn't ask whether or not it can be an Ultralight :-). However, since the DX on it "only" goes out to 1,400 miles, it may be on the Turkey List. Thanks for the link Gil - I had

FM UL Dxing

I've noticed in all the UL discussions that there really has been almost nothing said about FM and SW DXing with ultralight radios. I have an E100 which means that using it for FM and SW DXing is a
