You will find that products by Tech-Spray and their Rid-Ox line's Contact Protector/Enhancer are as well thought of as Caig's products, and they have worked very well for years. Beware of over-spray,

Ferrite Antenna
Amid all manner of ideas and results, you will likely find ferrite bar type much superior to toroid. Historically, toroid shapes are better used as matching, transformer, and related uses, and in gene

Utilising the unused USB pins on Tecsun PL-398BT
In reality, there are no "unused pins" on the USB 1.0/2.0/3.0 port systems. The four (4) pins on the 1.0/2.0 and the five (5) pins on the 3.0 are dedicated functions. Before "messing" with either the

Hand Capacitance With the SRF Series of Sony Radios
One thing that just hit me that I failed to mention... RE: Hand capacitance effects, if we users are located very near or under the transmitting antenna for AM or FM, the "sudden" increase of signal s

Sony SRF-18 and Identifying parts
Agree with you totally, Rick. For many years, one of the "scams" (yes, that IS a strong word) that many of us have seen is many technology makers will deliberately scratch off, solvent wash off or tap

Sadly, perhaps this message as well... But the worst of Group day(s) is when messages about Spam and "stolen" Email accounts rule the Group, rather than hopefully more close-to-topic messages. Joe

DeToxIt usage DT400W I hate these kind of fixes
RE: << Caution: Deoxit can damage some pots/switches. Use it where you have nothing to lose, or you have a replacement part to use if things go bad. I, personally, have never had a problem with Deoxit

Correct Earphone/Earbud Impedance for Sangean DT-400W
