Hi Guys, Interesting this subject comes up on soft mute. I've been working on a blog post about soft mute and just what it is and its technical parameters. Here's the data on soft mute: What is soft

Was just listening on the Sangean DT160 with local KALI nulled. Caught a fine ID at 2154 pdt: This is the central valley's best radio station, KBIF Fresno. Not a new logging but always nice to

Date: 10/10/2020 Time: 14:30 Location: Home, Launceston Tasmania Notes: A mid afternoon session at home. Signals were as I would expect with on 3RN on 621kHz showing any decent signal level.

When I was referring to defeating soft mute, I meant particularly on the AM band, not the SW band. If you try to tune a station on say AM 760 and then retune to 759 or 761, this gets rid of the soft

It would be good if it did, here we have no cases in a few months so day to day we are okay within the state but we are not getting any tourists which is causing issues for a lot of businesses.--

Thank ypu Paul. Now, if only this pandemic situation would vanish. Richard

Great to hear that things are improving for you on the bands. Paul -- Paul

Update: the PL-330 does not defeat Soft Mute by tuning +/- 1kHz on the SW bands. Checked 9690 Spanish and it did not work. I know my PL-310 (before the 'et') also did this. One does need a reletively

AM-BCB and SW bands are handled differently IIRC. My proceedure was for AM-BCB w/10kHz spacing. I will check SW usiing AM-BCB proceedure on the PL330. Paul S. in CT FN31nl

TP DX this morning was the best here in quite some time (LSR at 1233 GMT). 567 JOIK fair at 1226, audible to 1235. 594 JOAK good at 1219. 693 JOAB fair at 1222 until 1237. 747 JOIB fair at 1201 until

I have a PL-310et and I do not notice any change when trying these soft mute disable proceedures. But then, I don't notice any soft mute at all on this radio. Turning it off and on does not reinstate

TP DX here has continued to be practically non-existent here since mid-September. Today was no exception with only one station being heard. 594 JOAK fair at 1213 with what sounded like a sporting

Another DX Test from WNJC-1360 late night tonight! We’re getting spoiled with the weekly DX Test. But tonight’s conditions are the best so far. Great opportunity for DX’ers in Europe and on the

Hi Remy With all due respect, I don't think that procedure works to turn off the soft mute. I have several Tecsun PL380 radios and tried your technique on them all but didn't notice any improvement

Hi everyone out there, Not necessarily a bad thing. As I see it this might help keep the filter on the actual signal. Too many receivers, when switched to SSB remain with the AM bandwidth and decode

With my focus on Ultralight radio DXing, my radio kit has changed, a couple of radios have been removed and I was finding my previous case was not working very well for me, the quality of the foam was

Over the years I've had bad luck with the Ni-MH batteries. Some radios just don't like them, and the batteries themselves are as fragile as glass. My tub of 60 alkaline AA's cost $20, or about 67c for

Thanks for the detailed reply. That is some amazing battery life, I use some 2000mAh recharbales which are sold at our local supermarket, at $5.60 for 4 AA or AAA's, it is amazing how long these last,
