I have two of them, but my first DE321 cannot receive MW under 558kHz, while the second one can receive down to 531kHz, though the second one has a defect in dial indicator. How about your

Hello All, As Dennis has already reported, it was one of the worst clunker sessions of the entire season (and the term "mid-October anomaly" comes to mind). The Asians were comatose right up until

Check the Degen DE208 as a candidate as it's smaller than those you mentioned, the 2AA last forever, has a sleep timer, Backlight and digital readout of the analog tuner. 19.95 on Amazon.

Andy, if you are considering the worst-case scenario, the effect of a man-made or solar-generated EMP should also be considered. Only a tube radio would be immune - but you would have difficulty

I'm planning to order a SW portable set kept for emergency use (among ordinary receivers) OTHER THAN receivers with dynamos; I will also several sets of fresh dry batteries. I have several SW

Thanks Andy (and Rick), Tracking the serial numbers of new PL-380's with additional digital noise is a good suggestion. It seems like no PL-380's with this issue started showing up until early

Correct my posting I was referring to the Degen DE32 that I gave to my buddy after comparing it to my Kaito KA321. I have not had a chance to compare a Degen DE19 to my Degen DE1105 which is my

I had one for two weeks with intentions of giving it to a buddy, which I did. I found it easier to tune than my Kaito KA321, but with less sensitivity - note that the specs for it show it to be less

Yes, they certainly weren't designed for easy maintenance. I started taking one apart to look at the RF section, but once I got deeper into the radio, decided to put in in the "when I get a round

Ah very interesting! Mine is an Amazon purchased model. S/N is: 36920130400299 (inside battery compartment). Solder quality on this one is less than impressive but I didn't see anything worth

Could be a batch that all have a missing capacitor somewhere, that made it through QA. Would be worth comparing serial numbers. I just finished repairing and aligning an Icom IC-R71A that had an

Hi Rick, Very few of these "supercharged" 7.5" Longwave loopstick PL-380's have been built, so there may not be enough DXers owning them to give you some valid answers, or suggestions. Most of these

Hi all, I'm trying to determine if I have a bad sample or if my supercharged PL-380 is acting normally. The radio is hearing its own LCD screen on a large swath of the LF and lower AM band. There ARE

Tim, I have the DE1126, which appears very similar to yours but adds an mp3 recorder. Mine works well on FM; MW is ok; SW is pathetic. Maybe I got a defective one, or maybe the mp3 recorder interferes

Anyone (besides me) have this interesting little radio that certainly qualifies as an ultralight? It's available on that well-known auction site. I've had mine for several months now and although I

Hello All, What sounded like a very promising band around 1310 hit the skids here around 1330, with Asian propagation seeming to take a swoon just before the usual peak sunrise enhancement time.

Hi Andy/ Andy, From what I understand after talking with Tao Qu and other Chinese friends, the Tecsun and Degen companies have the same ownership, although they attempt to maintain completely
