Thanks for access to your great posts. Tom Stiles

Nice work, Gary and crew. Happy DXing! Keith Beesley

It is always great to hear about your adventures and the photos really add to it. Great loggings. One day (if I can) I would love to join you guys.

They are one brand I avoid, too many issues in the past.

You do need to make sure you are buying originals as there are many copies out there. Also as with all batteries, remove them from the appliance if you are not going to use it for a while. I've never

I concur : the PL-380 and AR-1733 are both good. It was battery-leak that killed the latter :-( Michael UK

D' have a dubious reputation. In my painful experience, more leak than do others with unknown labels. This may be due to manufacturing locations and quality control. Best

From my first couple of days at the wild and wacky Rockwork 4 plunging ocean cliff near Manzanita, OR, here is a small sample of Ultralight + 8" FSL antenna South Pacific DX. We were honored to

My parents v115 can operate to around 15 hrs playing mp3 music at 48kbit rate.Just a guess. FM reception is quite tricky and requires proper installation of external wire It seems that none in this

Not sure if it's a known brand elsewhere, but in the UK a respected battery brand is Duracell. They do a rechargeable compatible which seems to get good

For less money than the Tecsun PL-series radios, The R-909 and R9012 are top analogs for about US$20 each. They will go great with your AN-200 loop. Each of these two radios run on 2 AA's and the

Thanks Frank

I own a PL-330... expect 30-35 hours. Because the V115 also has a mp3 record/play probably closer to 30 hours. I would find a reputable on-line seller (usually high # of comments) and look for the

Those are all very good points and I agree. I was just playing around with a way to include the signal level as well, so that it is not just about if you log a station but also how well the signal

My radios are a mix of AA = 1 AAA = 3 Internal = 2 I have found that provided I remember to charge them, the two with internal batteries are the less likely to have charge issues. My AR-1733 uses AA

In MWDXerDB, I have used these values for the different signal levels. Poor = 1.1 Weak = 1.4 Average = 1.9 Good = 2.4 Excellent = 3 The formula I use is: Distance/ Power * SignalLevel =

I like living here, what do you find is funny about what I share?-- Paul

<<< Following some discussions on here and my own experiences, I have added an extra value to account for signal level. This rates the signal from poor, weak, average, good and excellent and

Sorry if I have missed it but what are you using to increase the value? It seems to not be a standard jump between signal levels? The second graph to me seems to make more sense.
