Re: Patent design disorder.

I actually have a well-worn one of those that I found somewhere (the Siemens version, even though I live in N.Am.). It's a nice little rig, pretty sensitive on MW, not so much on SW. Keith B.

Looking for good used or new Tecsun PL-660

Looking for good used or new Tecsun PL-660, that specific model. Am looking over at eBay as well, but am asking if anyone has a good used, well-treated Tecsun PL-660 receiver, OR a new one at (very)

Re: Patent design disorder.

Aha...no wonder it looks familiar... The Siemens RK 702 is the model number used in Europe for the Grundig Traveller II. Supposedly, they are identical receivers, both receiving the 9 kHz/10 kHz

Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-10

Hello All, Although nothing was really set up here for DXing, a very quick band check at 1540 on a modified ICF-2010 showed signs of TP life on the high band. 1566-HLAZ was temporarily booming in with

Re: ULR DX..One NEW STN @ Sunrise today....500 Watter!!! 1290 WLBY Saline Michigan

Nice catch, Rob. It's always fun to log something under a local. Where I lived in the KC area, it was pretty easy to null the 810 local and hear WGY, KGO and a lot in between. A couple stations

Finally a new one on 1650

1650 has been a tough frequency for me. There's some sort of local noise that hangs out there. The only thing heard here has been WHKT. This morning with WHKT nulled and the noise not as bad, I

Re: I Just Bought A PL-606 Receiver

The PL606 is a very good rx on MW. I have the PL380 as well and have compared s/N ratings between the two and the PL606 comes out slightly ahead because of the larger ferrite. The 606 tone has less

Re: Sony SRF-18

Thanks for the comments, Joy... And yes, now I understand it better... The SW-7 that I saw, maybe six-seven years ago, was connected to both an amp with larger speaker and to a much better antenna,

Re: Sony SRF-18

I bought an SW-07 new back in the day and it was typically Sony...a marvel of miniaturization, features and just an eye-popper in general, but I eventually sold it because of a few minusses. First,

I Just Bought A PL-606 Receiver

I just bought a PL-606 receiver and it works great on FM since I live in a overload FM prone area because of WVHT-FM. The LW reception is ok, but how can I improve LW/MW reception? any

Re: Sony SRF-18

Of interest, does anyone have or use the uber-expensive Sony ICF-SW07 receiver ? I remember that it's not REAL old, but is considered "somewhat yesteryear" in age The one I saw a few years ago worked

Re: Sony SRF-18

SONY still makes many good analog radios, including the ICF- 304, 404, 704 sold in other markets than the USA but available on line here. I have the ICR-s71 too. Very little noise between stations, no

Re: Sony SRF-18

Sony SRF-18 is indeed a very good, very sensitive analog tuning receiver, albeit with twin small speakers. If they packed the same basic chassis into a digital readout model, nowhere near as
