DSP-based Radios from Kchibo
I've previously ignored Kchibo portables as likely "turkeys", but I've discovered that a new crop of Kchibo radios may be worth investigating. Evidently, this manufacturer is getting into the DSP radi

Sony ICF-R100MT
Hi Paul, the ICF-R100MT is certainly an interesting radio. Based on its design, it may be an offshoot of the ICF-T615. I checked out the links you mentioned, and noted a comment that it is a "AM High

The Tecsun R-202T - In The End, A Turkey
Hi Kevin, That's great that you determined the filter is 455 khz IF.! As much as I'd love to dig into one of these models with a filter swap, I have too many unfinished projects already. I had better

The Tecsun R-202T - In The End, A Turkey
Kevin, Are there any numbers you can see on a part that looks like a discrete filter? If this is a 455 kHz I.F. rig, it almost certainly can be upgraded. The numbering could be a clue. If it is a 450

Dumb Question of the Week: Loop Antennas
Hi Gary, I'm late jumping to this interesting thread, but I have a question about the capacitor used in your experiments. When you say it was "of similar size to the 7.5" loopstick", are you basically

2009 Ultralight Radio Shootout-- Unprecedented Sensiti...
Thanks Gary (& Kevin) for the explanations. I'm glad that double conversion and dual filter choices are not necessarily a roadblock to ULR status. There are so many turkeys out there it is good to be

2009 Ultralight Radio Shootout-- Unprecedented Sensitivity in Two New Models
Hi Gary, I was surprised to read that the PL-450 is an approved Ultralight, as you mentioned in your caption in the Photos section of this group that the PL-450 has double-conversion circuitry. Isn't

Hi Gary, In past years I know I took an exact reading from a GPS receiver, but I cannot lay my hands on the resulting figure which I filed away. As best as I can tell from the fuzzy imagery in Google

Sony SRF-T615
When I owned a SRF-T615, I opened it up in anticipation of planning a filter modification. It would definitely be possible to do the external antenna tap to this radio, but you'll need good dexterity,

Protective Case for E100 Slider Radios
Hi Jay, Thanks for mentioning the Stormcase source. I've never heard of that brand before, and the construction and quality look the same as Pelican. I do like the better price! $33.00 is a lot easier
