The AN200 can be hardwired as well. It has an 1/8" jack on the end opposite the tuning knob.

Hi Jackie, I have a Tecsun AN200 loop, which is the same as those offered by Grundig and Kaito. As far as I can tell, it works about the same as the Terk Advantage loop, which has a similar diameter.

I like Anon-co, but both items I've ordered from them came in bubble envelopes. There service is great, but their packing is not. different seller, and get the English manual for free.

Hi Gary, Thanks for your initial impressions of the PL-210. All of the radios I've purchased from Hong Kong have been shipped in bubble envelopes. The last thing I bought was a Tecsun R-308 with an AN

Hi Mark, My PL-380 is more sensitive than my DT-400W or DT-200V across the MW band. At 530 kHz, my PL-380 is far more sensitive than any of my other ultralights. At 1700 kHz, my E100 is a little more

Fry's web site says the Twin Coil antenna is unavailable in the Las Vegas store, but it might be worth a call to check.

Hi Scott, I find that the sync detector in the Sony 7600GR is good for reducing interference by isolating one sideband, but not as good at reducing selective fading distortion. The sync detectors in t

Well, my CCRadio-SW, which is essentially identical to the Redsun RP2100, says "Dual Conversion" right on the display, and the descriptions of the RP2100 on eBay and elsewhere on the Internet say "Dua

Hello all, Fry's is selling the C. Crane Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna for $20. You have to order on line for pick up at a local store. According to their site, four stores in So Cal have it. Check availa

Hi Gary, One nice thing about analog radios is that they don't deplete the batteries when they sit for months. Digital radios always seem to draw a small amount of current even when turned off, to pow

Farmerik, My mini loop, with the 3.7" diamond weave coil and tuning cap, produces a modest signal boost when pointed "at" the station of interest, and deep nulls when rotated 90 degrees, when using it

I'm getting small increases, for example from 20/10 to 25/15.

Hi Farmerik, I'm not talking about 9 or 10 kHz tuning steps. What I mean is being able to tune up or down one 10 kHz step with one click of the tuning wheel (or one press of a button, as on the E100).

Hi Kevin, I believe you are correct that it's simply additional signal strength drowning out the internally generated hets on the PL-380. I tried the mini loop with my Satellit 800. It can provide a g

Farmerik, Sorry, I don't. -Gary

Hello all, I soldered the 3.7" diamond weave loop to the mini tuning cap today, and put it temporarily into a cardboard 3.5" diskette box. As far as I can tell, it works like a miniature version of th

Hi Famerik, So the diamond weave coil doesn't have a reception pattern similar to a normal loop (for example the Terk)? With a normal loop, maximum single is parallel to the long dimension of the loop

Thanks, Bill.

Hi Kevin, Yes, this is very helpful. The equation and example you provided are exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all of my questions today, as well as p

Thanks for the info, Kevin. Pardon my ignorance, but where does the 90,175 pf*uH come from? Do you have any web sites that discuss this?
