I'm landlocked in western New York state and get so jealous when I read about all those TP @ TA loggings.... So, thinking about a ocean beach trip for a weekend or similar (Fri-Sun) dxpedition. LW,

I noticed the analog tuned DSP IC has Bass and Treble control functions. Might end up in a 'lunch box' size radio too? I would miss the Tropical SW bands, and LW would have been nice, but it still is

Look at this array - and swoon ! Unfortuantely, I dont think I could order 10.000 chips... http://www.silabs.com/products/audiovideo/amfmreceivers/Pages/default.aspx Michael UK -----

SW band is somewhat truncated, starts from 5.6 MHz

At the SiLab website, I thought I saw some sort of development board for $50 each. That might be very interesting for the experimenters here. As noted no LW or SYNCH/SSB, but I would like it with

SiLab's datasheet for the new series "wheel tuned" DSP IC used in this Tecsun radio has been available since about the first of the year. I don't see anything on it that changes the AM or FM

Oops! Yes, I meant R-2010. There is data on the web, as you link. I was wondering if it is available anywhere yet. I wonder why they chose "2010" :-) Michael UK

Did you mean the TECSUN R-2010? I have been looking for that. Bandspead SW bands, analog tuning, but DSP. - FARMERIK

No, I can't even find pics of it online! Peter

Any sightings of the Tecsun R-210? I cant find dimensions, so it may not qualify as a ul-rx, but it would be interesting to know how the new Si4831 chip compares with the antique Si4734... Anybody

Hi all, Last night I bought a new ultralight here in Shenzhen. Strangely the local stores don't carry many ultralight models (or larger radios), given that they are made a short distance from here

Ok, Thanks for the info. I got the variable cap, Litz, and ferrite rods all on order. Going to Walmart in search of a funnoodle. Will visit my local Home Depot to see about the rest of the

Phil, The "Funnoodle" floating tube (actually a swimming aide for kids) is the inner core material used for all my FSL's, and provides the perfect combination of resilience and stiffness, even for

Hi Phil, The 7" FSL (designed for MW coverage) uses 20 turns of the 660/46 Litz wire, and each turn takes 23" of wire. Ordering 45 feet of the Litz wire should be more than sufficient, assuming that

Thanks for the feedback. Not too late then and thanks for the other tips ! Dave

Two new stations to report from my SR DXing session. Tnx to a tip from my neighbor, Richard Allen, these two stations were logged even though neither of them was what I was trying to hear. That's cool
