Your logging of 5MV stands out, I assume a good score was due to the power and signal level?

That sounds like an excellent little project. I did much the same with my TEAC PR130 a year or so ago, this was a bit of fun. Paul -- Paul

Hi, i have a few of these small radios, i pick them up when the price is below US$5-6. They use DSP ic and the reception is as good as the size of their ferrite antenna, unless you use some external

Hi all, I have recently embarked on a "side" Ultralight DX'ing endeavor. What I call my "Super-Ultralight AM DX'ing Quest". I have acquired an Analog Retekess PR15 AM/FM, ultralight-ultralight radio

Update - 20/08/2021: After using this for the past month, I found that I was not carrying it with me as much as wanted, often I was just taking my AR-1733 in my work bag and not my whole kit. Due to

I have given this some time but it has gone back, it simply was not usable. I will be sticking with brand names from now on.

FM translators are intended to act as repeaters to fill in coverage for areas for a local AM or FM broadcaster. Television has similar translators as well. For traditional analog broadcast, the

Thanks Jock. My AR-1733 has ATS but won't scan programmed channels. I will add that in to my next update of this file.

Shortwave still a good opportunity from time to time although the background more than sad. Here in Europe / Austria I could pick-up yesterday first time AITV audio signal on 7600 kHz. Firstly on my

Paul, Excellent guide! I don't know if you want to get into this level of detail, but some ultralights have the capacity to "scan and store" AIR frequencies, so that they can can scan the air band

Hi Peter, Great points! Thanks for your thoughts! Very insightful. I am currently "mapping my local FM dial" in my area (Michigan, US). Right now I've only "mapped" what is normally on the band from

Hi Peter, Regarding the "Dead Man Walking" statement... I'm surprised at this statement as my FM dial has NEVER been busier in my lifetime... There are literally no free frequencies along the whole
