I wouldn't bother...this is normal for this model an alignment won't be able to help...it is a design flaw. Jay httP//radiojayallen.com

Hey everyone! I just recently purchased a Panasonic RF-P50. Although the FM holds its own with other pocket radios, it's very insensitive on AM. I was wondering if I should consider an alignment on

I had to run out and try it. My SRF39 did the opposite. Touching the top 1/3 of the case makes the signal nosier. If it stops drizzling, I'll set it on the hood of my car and see if anything changes.

Also, your hand is further away from the local oscillator with the larger radios. I suspect that the reduction of hiss is due to a filtering from the source of the hiss to the hand. It's like putting

Despite the lightning static this morning I was able to add another new station to my log. 1124 GMT 600-XEMN, Monterrey NL MEX (1 kW @ 1215 km), with música norteña. "La Regiomontaña" ID heard at

Dear Joe: The chain link fence will be replaced with a wooden one with fairly minimalistic wire-it isn't hard to stop a Pekinese from running away. I have posted in the photos section my "modified"

Very nice catch! WBZ was running the Marathon Story most of Patriot's Day and Night. I was listening to them late in the afternoon, which is still a bit noisy here. At that time they were committed

RE: Richard, Congratulations on finally catching WBZ , sometimes as we know all to well, stations like that can elude a person for a good period of time. WBAP 820 your way is a another good

I DXed from 0134 to 0546 GMT and found very good propagation. Therefore, I was finally able to log a station I've been trying to hear for the past five years. 0442 GMT 1030-WBZ, Boston MA, 50 kW @

Well stated, Jay and something we all should take note of. At 62, I fortunately or not remember many older receivers and other hardware -- including some test equipment -- that many times had metal

Gordon... Having seen your latter situation (we have already discussed the first), here's what we had to do on so far, oh, maybe three of the perzact same problems I have seen: << My chain link

In reality, there are no "unused pins" on the USB 1.0/2.0/3.0 port systems. The four (4) pins on the 1.0/2.0 and the five (5) pins on the 3.0 are dedicated functions. Before "messing" with either

That would remove you from the "barefoot" ultralight category, I would suspect.

Jay et al: Wrapping all but the top 2" of my SRF-59 with foil seems to eliminate the problem. I think Jay is right about the size of the ground plane being important. Am thinking about building a

Congrats on hearing 990-XET. It's a pest here, often blocking reception of favorite CBW. Good DX. Richard Allen, near Perry OK USA.

Hello To All, Reception early this morning , a bit from the south as Reloj from Cuba on 860 was audible as well as other 2nd tier stations in Spanish under many of the US big guns. One of the

Joe, All true. Here are two few more tidbits about hand capacitance effects. I generally find it most noticeable on smaller radios...I think that larger radios provide a stronger ground reference

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and recently started using a Tecsun PL-398BT radio. I like this radio very much, but just want to do a mod to allow connection of external LW/MW antenna. Rather

Dear Joe et al: I am located a half mile from an AM station (1490) which indeed overloads the front end of all my radios. I tune to minimize the signal, and didn't notice hand capacitance until I
