I should also add the PL-390 as a possibility. Very similar to the 380 in form and function, with the advantage over the 310 being much less aggressive "soft muting" (like the 380), but with the sligh

The E100s show up on eBay frequently. A while back, someone even had a bunch of refurbs. That's when I got mine.

I've got an Eton E100, which is the same radio as the Grundig G100, and the Tecsun PL-200. This is an older version of the PL-210, and I have to agree that it is a great little radio for SW DX on the

This method worked on both devices I tried it on, with no loss of lettering. Your results may vary, but so far it seems to be safe.

I actually figured this one out, as my e100 also developed the problem as well as a second radio shack HT. You have to use 99% alcohol, not 70%, and you need to use a new spot on the rag or cloth as s

Jerry, If you are simply looking for something in the "size class" of an ultralight that has SSB capability, the G6 might be the only choice. I don't think they are available new from Grundig/Eton any

The picture on this site shows a coax-plug wall wart charger: http://tecsunradio.com/2012/06/21/kchibo-kk-d95l-lithium-battery-digital-turning-portable-mini-radio/ There may be a hidden jack on the ra

I used to have a D96L too. I agree with Keith on everything, except that what makes the radio almost useless on SW (overloads easily), makes it great in a weak signal area. Ergonomics are a bit strang

Radio Shack also makes an attenuating patch cord. It's mono, but can be used with a stereo/mono 1/8" adapter. That's what I used on devices I had with only headphone out jacks. RS Item# 42-2461 http:/

I haven't had the problem with the E-100 yet, but I have with other radios, particularly an old Radio Shack 440 HT with that finish. Be careful what you try to clean it with, as I found that some thin

I've been with Sprint for years, and for some reason there are less CDMA phones with FM than GSM / LTE ones. Having said that, my company phone is a T-Mobile HD7, which does have an FM radio with RDS.

Silicon Labs does makes a line of chips (Si470x) that have RDS support. Unfortunately I have yet to see one in anything small enough to be considered ultralight. It's a shame, because the Sangean radi

I seem top remember finding a few on my last AM Stereo-capable radio as recently as 6 months ago

I know this is far from ultralight, but may be of some interest to the members: Radio Shack AM Stereo Tuner TM-152 http://www.ebay.com/itm/REALISTIC-TM-152-AM-STEREO-TUNER-LOOKS-BRAND-NEW-/13061872151

The demo boards are pretty much working radios without a cabinet.

I noticed this chip on the Silicon Labs website. It seems like the 4831/35 with a digital display out. SW goes to 28.5 Mhz according to the page here: http://www.silabs.com/products/audiovideo/amfmrec

Now that I look at this site I'm not sure. http://www.kchibo.com.cn/bbs/showtopic-4646.aspx These photos clearly show a variable capacitor, and I thought the Si4831 chip used a variable resistor for t
