A.C. and Kirk I have two Sony T615's both are great on AM as for FM forget it local stations are ok but DX is non existant. The Tecsun PL300 and PL600 are far superior and both receive weak FM

Hi Tony, Yes, I'm very much aware of the romantic mystique that 738-Tahitit enjoys among hopeful inland DXers in the Midwest and Northeast, and must express my regrets over the poor choice of

Off hand I don't know. I have the 360 and 310, and usually plug them in overnight or when I will be gone for awhile. - FARMERIK

Thanks for responding, Kirk. Judging from your reports, it sounds like you have made good use of your T615 on the MW! I realize the emphasis here is on MW DX, but I really would appreciate it if

Fascinated by accounts here of the sensitivity and selectivity of the Tecsun R1212A, I decided to look into ordering one from taobao.com. The deals look great, with some used examples as low as 30

Hello All, South Pacific DX bailed out this morning, with not even 738-Tahiti putting in a signal here on the Oregon coast. This was in stark contrast to yesterday's booming signals, but not a big

Hi Tony, Thanks for your comments, and of course it's very easy to feel close to New Zealand when several of their AM stations typically blast in here on most July mornings. It's amazing that such

Hey Kevin, Yes, I sure wish that you were here to enjoy the FSL smoke tests-- you and Steve certainly put in some serious hours sorting out the quirks of the new design. The discoveries made by both

Thanks Michael, looking around for a bigger Ferrite Rod for now, I have the Variable Capacitors.

Thanks for the reply Famerik. This CamPower Charger I have also has a Car Adapter and charges batteries from 1 to 4 with a Power LCD Screen Indicator on how the Batteries are charging - got it from

So happy here that your tremendous effort and diligent reporting to those of us who follow you vicariously, has paid off so spectacularly Gary! You are an inspiration. I am aiming for Ascension from

Good stuff, Gary! I wish I was out there with you. I'm glad things cleared up on both fronts, since I reckon you don't have a lot of time left out there. Perhaps you can point the FSL so it directs

I'd stick with the charger inside the radio, connected to a computer. One reason is fast chargers shorten battery life. Also, many chargers for 4 cells will not charge odd numbers of cells, or only

Hello All, The lackluster weather and propagation both cleared up in time for this morning's beach session, and several South Pacific stations were booming in with vibrant signals. It was mostly the

After a 2 week wait my new Tecsun PL 380 arrived today. Can't believe how compact and small it is as compared to my Grundig G3 Radio. Instructions re charging the Batteries are a bit vague. I have a 1

Hi A.C., To show I didn't ignore your question, I'm here to tell you I can't comment on the FM band receptions here. I've hardly been anywhere but the MW range since getting the T-615 back in March.
