Re: PL-310
Hey Russ:
This is from the manual - to turn LW on/off:
- Turn off the radio.
- Press and hold the [MW/LW] button until "ON" or "OFF" appears in the display: if " OFF" appears in the display, this

PL-310
I had purchased my PL-310 mostly for FM DX, and have found it to be one of the least intuitive radios I've ever owned, and often the manual is of no help.

Re: Longwave Question
Reviews are, of course, by definition subjective and relative. A more central rather than
fringe location like mine will, of course, deliver better reception of the main European LW
stations.

Re: Longwave Question
I have both the Roberts Sports 925 and the R9924, both of which are, in my opinion, *excellent* LW performers. Of all the radios I own, including the larger ones (ATS909, PL660), they are the best on

Re: TECSUN 310/380 and coupling
You could always build your own loop, once you have a good 365pf capacitor, which from MidnightScience.com is only $10.95. make it as big or small as you want. In the files section under Air core loop

Re: Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU Audio-- 738-2NR
Good catch on 738, Gary. Being 40 or so miles away, I seem to be in something of a dead zone for TPs, although I think I was packing up about the time you heard 738, so perhaps I should not be so

Re: TECSUN 310/380 and coupling
Hi Pat:
If you put a ferrite or air-core coupler on the output of the ALA-1530, and don't get too close to the PL-310/380 (which may otherwise overload), that should work fairly well. I can't see

Re: Longwave Question
I recently ordered a bunch of under $100 analog SONY radios to try, and so far the ICF-704L is probably the best on AM and LW. It is certainly not an ULR, but more the size of a long skinny lunch box
