I would be up for the challenge, and will pay any necessary expenses. I will characterize the current noisy setup in some repeatable way, do the transplant, then redo the characterization for

Hello To All It's been a bit of a dryspell for new catches here during the past few weeks. Two new entries for the Ultralight logbook early this morning prior to sunrise. 　 1320 - KOZY - Grand

This looks like the rubber bands you get when purchasing broccoli. Great idea.... Gary KC8IQZ

Looks like the rubber band you get holding together stalks of broccoli. Great idea.

Hello All, Four anemic high band Asians took turns producing fair audio in and out in the frozen back yard here just prior to 1600, with the low band staying in a deep freeze. 1503-JOUK,

Folks, Today I'm starting on the update to the 2011 TIS/HAR list.It will take me a while to go through the FCC stuff. You can help by noting any TIS/HAR stations you are hearingand reporting it to

Mike..... what a great way to prove the Old Theory of "Keep it Simple!!!" .....And a cheap fix to a common ULR Dxing problem. Thanks for the advice. I'm looking for a Rubber Band right now!! 73..ROB

Hello All, A special thanks is in order to both Bruce Bacon (of Boise, ID) and Payman Arabshahi (of Bellevue, WA), who responded to the "Dead or Alive" Older Model PL-380 solicitation by donating

Clackc@q.com, Thanks for the translation of the PL-380 digital board's Si4734 DSP chip label. Since the DSP chip is no longer shielded on recently-manufactured PL-380's, it will be a fairly simple

Looking at the SiLabs datasheet 3420-BAN8-117 34=Si4734, 20= firmware revision 2.0. B= revision B Die, AN8= internal code. 117 = Year and Workweek so 2011 and 17 Workweek. So it look like there

Andy, <<< That missing shielding doesn't just shield the oscillator circuitry, I'm pretty sure that little square black chip above the watch oscillator is the SiLabs 4734 RF chip. >>> You

I just had a look at some higher resolution pics (thanks Gary!). That missing shielding doesn't just shield the oscillator circuitry, I'm pretty sure that little square black chip above the watch

Chances are that new oscillator "can" is singing like a canary. It looks like they originally used one that fit under the original shield. Instead of fashioning a new shield, it looks like they just

Great pictorial of the PL-380 breakdown.

Gary, Thank you for writing the article and making this available for folks like me. I'll get back to work now :) Regards, Dave
