An amazing looking location...be careful there!

Paul, First, I hope you get well soon and don't' have serious Covid complications. As for in-home challenges I enjoy getting out into the yard where reception is best and updating my logs whenever I c

OK. Not the sharpest copies but readable. I have scanned the complete PL-368 Manual and it is attached...best we can do until a real electronic version comes out. Jay

I'm away most of today but will try to get to it as son as I can.

Paul, I scanned the two pages of the PL-368 manual which explain the ETM function and have attached them here. It is the same as the PL-330 ETM and I have attached that entire manual for other details

I have found that the main reason for different results like this is that local conditions are often the limiting factor in reception and mask the differences in the radios. For example, if the noise

Motion detector lights are a big offender. I had to replace a garage door opened because the motion detector light wiped out almost all AM and SW through the entire house, although usually it is a bit

One other aspect of this I haven't seen discussed (and forgive me if it was and I missed it) is what I would call The Tail Wagging The Dog". I have seen many cases where a struggling AM station was gr

The main problem I find in my cars with AM IBOC is that when you live on the fringe of an AM HD station area the switching is obvious, and the only way to stop it is to go through menus to disable HD

It would seem to be a problem with your specific radio not the model in general because mine does not exhibit this kind of drain. I can leave it for a month with no problems. FWIW, Jay

If the Sony M37V is still available I'd love to have it...let me know! You can email me at radiojayallen@... Thanks, Jay

Just remember that in FM a narrow bandwidth has a much different effect than it does on AM and may be less noticeable unless you are specifically checking for selectivity. Forgive me if you already kn

It may be a matter of how low the noise floor is in your area but when I compare the PR-D18 and PR-D19 I get slightly better AM reception on the PR-D19. Jay

For radios I use with any regularity I don' remove the batteries...too inconvenient. I only had the two radios which drained batteries fast while off (they would be down in a few days) were both defec

Interesting project! Did you try the DT-880's Narrow FM bandwidth setting for improved selectivity? Jay

Beware of battery draining while the radio is off. I have had two radios which did this and in both cases the radios were defective...replacements cured the issue. The test is to take the battery out

Paul, Awesome looking location. Also it looks like your son may catch your DXing bug! Jay

I did a report on this radio here: https://radiojayallen.com/sangean-hdr-14-compact-am-fm-hd-radio/ Jay

I find the CC-2E/CC-3 and Eton Field BT/Elite Field to be truly excellent FM performers...as good as it gets in portables. I use them as references to compare everything else to and several are in the

Is there a difference in RFI...is there more or less noise at the new house? I moved last year form a house built in 1993 to a new house and there is more noise in some areas of the new house. I had t
