Re: Looking for Paul S / Ferrite in SE CT- FARMERIK
Miller made these pretty good in the day. More modern individual components would make it better using ceramic caps and tighter tolerances.
For a start the manual suggests using a 15pF cap on top of

Re: 2019 Shootout?
I wonder if I connected the MLA-30 across the antenna winding. It that likely to work? Another way is add a second winding on the ferrite antenna to couple, but finding the right number of turns

I don't have any info for you on this but just wanted to comment that this looks like an interesting and fairly unique device. Good luck with it!

Re: 2019 Shootout?
Back to ULR's, I did buy one of those MLA-30 amplified untuned loops which ARE very compact and light weight, mainly to use with the PL-360 series of radios. When you unplug the stock antenna you can

Looking for Paul S / Ferrite in SE CT- FARMERIK
If I remember correctly, you used to DX with simple one active device radios. I just won a Miller Hi Fi crystal AM tuner on Ebay, and wondered if the germanium crystal could be replaced with something

Re: Australian Stations - January 2020
Australian capital city stations like 873 Sydney 2GB, and 1116 Brisbane 4BC will be around a long time. This is because they attract older (maybe very old) listeners for mainly talk-back. These

Re: Australian Stations - January 2020
What do think the chances of the big stations like 2GB and 4BC etc going to FM in the next few years ? I was tuning around the Brisbane airspy server and the FM band certainly doesn't seem overly

Re: Australian Stations - January 2020
The Australian ACMA website has a list of pending AM to FM conversions. Quite a few stations will go forever such as recently departed 918 KHz Cooma.
Time to record these AM stations while they remain

Re: Australian Stations - January 2020
More Australian MW stations have permanently switched off. This opens up more clear frequencies for Australian DXers.
I hope they switch off my local 1539 KHz Rete Italia Sydney transmitter. This

Re: 2019 Shootout?
Michael,
Battery gunge can often cause short circuits, so a magnifying glass and a very strong light is a good idea. Your worst enemy though is going to be corrosion, as you might have already

Re: 2019 Shootout?
Thanks, Tom, I have done most of that, but will try it again -
with a magnifying glass :-)
I fear the original battery leak may have fed alien voltages to
parts of the signal processing circuitry.

Re: 2019 Shootout?
I have used this method to fix shavers, torches, radios and flash guns. I hope it helps.
Before opening the case, use cotton wool buds to wipe out excess gunge from the battery compartment. Stubborn

Re: 2019 Shootout?
I have an AR-1733. It was good. Sadly the batteries leaked and it is now dead.
Any suggestions as to how to dissect and possible revive it?
