Re: Good source for 18650 batteries?

As Jay pointed, I don't remove batteries but havevin mind that I do not have dozens of radios to use. I have a couple of them, a Panasonic RF-2200 and a Grundig Yacht Boy 300, both with batteries

Re: Good source for 18650 batteries?

Re: Improving Pocket UL FM reception

Interesting project! Did you try the DT-880's Narrow FM bandwidth setting for improved selectivity? Jay

Re: Good source for 18650 batteries?

That's actually works nicely. I do that in my radios and also in my old car that I drive only on special occasions. From my experience, it actually prolongs battery life // pedro andrade

Re: FM DXing - Sangean PR-D18 vs CCRadio-2E - Simple Side-by-Side Test

Hi Johnny, Both Sangean, PR-D18 and PR-D19 are excellent performers on FM and very good on MW (AM). The bigger one with two speakers offers a deep and rich sound that fill a room, but because of that

Re: Good source for 18650 batteries?

I wonder if people remove batteries when their radios are not in use? I have started doing that as I have more radios than batteries at the moment. Paul -- Paul

Hi all, Just picked up a Sangean PR-D18 purely for it's FM reception. I have to admit that this little radio, while ever so slightly bigger that the true UL definition (very close though), has

Re: Additional on CCrane Skywave SSB reception of NOAA weather radio frequencies . . . probably for radio nerds only.

162.55 was indeed the first weather-band channel, with 162.40 as an alternate. I have a Zenith Royal 92 "Weather Commander" AM/FM radio from 1968 (American-made, probably in Chicago) and it can tune

Re: Good source for 18650 batteries?

My PL-880 started draining batteries while off recently. Before this began, the battery would stay charged for months if not used. Now there is 15mA constant discharge current. The worst part is that

Re: Sangean DT-800 vs Sihuadon R-108 vs CCRadio 2E

Yes, FM on the Sangean DT-800 is very good. Two comments about the DT-800 AM: 1) Soft Mute on the DT-800 can be completely disabled by a simple menu setting! Very worthwhile. 2) On my unit, in AM,
