I bought some of these about 8 months ago and tested them on the Q meter. They have good Q and I believe would make a good FSL, given their short length. They go on sale like they are now every few mo

Let's see how these four files do, posting to this list; posting to IRCA list with them causes the files to become larger plus compressed resulting in them looking fuzzy. They're all loopamps I tested

Looks to me they came through with no changes from what they were when I sent them--same size and perfectly clear. This is the way it should be! Steve

Are you asking if you can mechanically connect a FSL's inductor (removing connections to its variable capacitor first) to a 3.5mm plug to replace the stock ferrite rod antenna? Steve

Well, I'm afraid without some real unsoldering work which would leave the FSL unusable, your idea won't work. The Pl360/365/SSB etc. all use the SiLabs DSP chip which tunes the antenna inductance (whi

Hi Peter, The radio uses the SiLabs DSP chip--it requires a specific inductance so the DSP chip will tune. It's not an external antenna input as such, it wants an inductance such as what the stock fer

RadioBoard is gone for past week or so; so far as I know no one who knows anything has said anything yet. Jim Kearman KR1S is the owner of RadioBoard; hopefully something bad didn't happen to him. 73,

From another list, this link goes to it; I see posts from early this month, September. http://r1rl8.skipdns.link/rb/

Looking at the diagram it does not appear that pad goes anywhere; if so then it doesn't matter if it's left unsoldered, and it wouldn't change anything if it were soldered. If the other side of the bo
