Thanks for the feedback.

Do you have a URL for the GP5/SSB PLEASE ?? Thanks. Lee...G6ZSG. ------------------------------------------------- farmerik Nov 20 10:14 PM I am thinking about one of these GP-5/SSB radios to tune my

It is better to use an L-shaped desk so that everything is inreach distance. And throw away that TV. It's only distracting attention from thehobby :-) 73, Guido.

Is this going to be the same as the PL380 or regular PL398? For $50 shipped it seems like a good deal... I have bought several things off Gearbest and have had good luck so far...

Anybody have a man cave / radio shack? I am in the process of designing a small man cave / radio shack for our new house. My plan is to build this in the back of our garage which is separate to the

I have just created a new Facebook group which be of interest to some people. "Photos of Radio DXers" Group to share photos of yourself or others undertaking any form of radio dxing. This can

Asian propagation was greatly improved this morning, resulting in one of the better sessions of the month. A dramatic sunrise enhancement boost after 1500 favored the high band Asian mainland

Nick was certainly correct about high band TP activity just after 1500 this morning. 1377, 1566, 1575 and 1593 were all in audio, with 1593-CNR1 managing its best signal here since last January (very

Thanks for all the answers. My main reason for wanting the GP5/SSB is for a new loop antenna I am working on, one more of dozens. Like the PL-360 it will tune the loop directly.The same jack for the

Yes .. the GP5/SSB is tall and narrow .. not so steady to stand up on its own without something tipping it over. But yes, take of the belt clip and it can lay nicely on its left side and that makes it

I have yet to get one these, would be good if it had the Russian FM band on it also though I know this is pointless in the US but here in the UK often signals are heard in the 66 - 72 MHz range via

I totally agree with that assessment! I nice handheld radio with precise tuning of SSB, but rather fiddly to operate, especially if you're in a hurry. One comment on the plastic belt clip. You don't

I have a soft spot for inexpensive radios which work well for the money. Glad you found one. - FARMERIK

Jay, Thanks for the comparison to the srf-59. You saved me $26! Sony should have just slapped a speaker on the srf-59 for their new model. Ryan

I saw the announcement a few months ago about a number ofnew Degen small radios. The new DE221 caught my attention. I’ve been waitingfor someone to buy one and report their observations. Not seeing

Yes, I've had one for several months now and really like it. FM and SW, especially SSB performance is very good. AM/MW, even withe the external plug in antenna, is good but not as good as say a stock

I am thinking about one of these GP-5/SSB radios to tune my ferrite antenna project. The input for the MW/LW antenna also connects to SW so it could tune an antenna coil wound for the Tropical bands

I just uploaded a photo here in this group of the core I am making for an antenna based on Everett's work. On a 20 inch long X 1 inch diameter dowel I slid 18 ferrite toroids 2.125 OD X 1 ID X 0.75

Asian signals recovered somewhat from their disastrous drop off yesterday, although they still ended up somewhat short of their energetic performance two days ago. In the predawn darkness at 1430 it
