Hi all, My SRF-59 is behaving strangely. The volume on both FM and AM is a lot lower than it was, and furthermore, increasing the volume means less sound! I had accidently left it switched on in my po

Hi All, For those who don't know a big tropo event has been happening in NW Europe the last few days. I have just uploaded my first video from last night - more to follow. Pity I was using my FM tuner

Here are some more videos of recent FM tropo received in England on my barefoot Eton G8 (selectivity is demonstrated too): 102.6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr-OM8Yv978 103.1 France Bleu G8 http://

Hi Allen and all, I listened last night on 1179 from my location in Blackpool, England. I caught an ID of "Cadena SER" - audible on the following clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8j6HlslbUg which

Hello Mark, I was wondering that too. I used to have a Sony NF610, and the AM radio does seem similar to that in the SRF-37. It has very wide bandwidth but very sensitive. I only read of how good an S

The Eton G8 aka Tecsun PL-300wt (£50) and Sony SRF-59 (£20)are both still available (I have both) via well-known UK retailers Maplin and Comet respectively. Peter, Blackpool UK

Brian, No, I never said that! I said Maplin sell the Eton G8, which is actually a Tecsun PL-300wt, and Comet sell the Sony SRF-59. Clear now? :-) Peter

Roberts are an old, established British Radio manufacturer. These days they don't manufacturer their own radios, they sell re-badged Sangean Radios. Roberts and Sangean are not the same company.

The caption with a blue background at the start of the video says the receiver is a SRF-M606, so it is probably that one :-) Peter, Blackpool UK

Hi all, I uploaded another video of my Eton G8 being used barefoot for FMDX under mild tropo conditons, here in Blackpool, England. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alvY5aU8Zj0 www.youtube.com/user/pe1e

Hi all, I am going to live in China for a while, so no need to get ultralights mail order and pay postage charges :-) Which, in the humble opinion of members, are the very best ultralights for overall

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your prompt reply and comments. I have brought with me my Eton G8 (aka Tecsun PL-300wt) that I purchased in the UK last year. The variant I have seems better than the Gundig and T

Hi ll, Thanks for all the comments...it probably is a question of what is available in the local market. I shall endeavour to inform the Group of my findings. Peter, HK

Hello all, I have established why purchase prices of Chinese radios seem higher in China than on ebay. In China purchases attact sales tax. In Hong Kong there is no sales tax, hence the e.bay sellers

Hello, Congrats once again on your logs...although I suspect that any Scots on here might be touchy about you saying that Radio Scotland is from ENGLAND! ;) Peter, China

Hello all, 89.6 BGD Dhaka R Today via SPE 08-06-2011 with ID on barefoot G8. Distance from Chongqing to Dhaka 1727 kilometers or 1073 miles http://s1132.photobucket.com/albums/m573/pe1etr/?action=view

Hello all, Quite parochial by the standards set by others with barefoot ultralights, but I'm in China with a very crowded MW band! At 01:30 this morning local time (UTC+8) I had live cricket commentar

Hello Allen, Any recording of the unid on 1377? I used to live in Mwanza, Tanzania, I can tell the difference between Swahili and Arabic ;) Peter Wilson China

Hello Allen, I hope you manage to get a recording soon. If you do let me know. Peter

Hi all, Last night I bought a new ultralight here in Shenzhen. Strangely the local stores don't carry many ultralight models (or larger radios), given that they are made a short distance from here :)
