Hello Paul, The stock E100 has a poorly shaped, flat loopstick which makes inductive coupling with external passive loop systems marginal at best. To my knowledge, every user of a Slider E100 has foun

Hello Kevin, Great work on your Crate Loop article posted on DXer.Ca, and also on the fantastic daytime DX catches with your Slider E100, assisted by the Crate Loop. Those are really some outstanding

Hello John and Rob, Don't feel fanatical about having two Sony SRF-T615 units-- there have been two here for quite some time :>) Let me echo Rob and John in saying that the tiny radio is worth every d

Hello John, Congratulations on your reception of ZNS-1540, and welcome to the Ultralight DX group! Up until now, I have been the "silent partner" of the radio donation group, mostly because I typicall

Hello John C. and Kevin, There is indeed some serious interest in FM DXing with Ultralight radios, but those of us with interest in this "niche hobby within a niche hobby" have been reluctant to use t

Hi Mark, If 9 kHz split-channel selectivity is your main priority in DXpeditions, then the Sony SRF-T615 is probably not going to thrill you. Its stock IF filter is nothing to shout about, and during

Brandon & Tim, Thanks for both of your comments. I have ordered SRF-T615's from both Audio Cubes 2 and "joynetcafe," and can assure you that they are both reliable companies, which will ship your radi

Hi Rob, No problem! As much as you've done for Ultralight DXing, you can call me Carry TheRock if you like! And sometimes I get so wrapped up in fanatical experimentation, I worry about remembering my

Hello Guys, The "discontinued" Eton E100 Ultralight radio (the current darling of DXpedition enthusiasts, who tend to modify it way past what its designers intended) is still available from many sourc

Hello John, Congratulations on logging 10 countries with your analog Sony SRF-39FP, truly a fine accomplishment in terms of patience and perseverance. Although that particular Ultralight model was ext

Hello Olaf, Congratulations on your exceptional logging of KVNS-1700 in Germany, with your SRF-59 inside a 1m passive loop. Your DXing skill are perseverance and very commendable, since tuning the ana

Hello Vince, Greetings from Puyallup, Washington (home for Guy Atkins and me, and a modest TP-DXing location about 5 miles from salt-water Puget Sound). We take great pleasure in welcoming you, John,

Hello Guys, As the culprit who originally introduced this tiny marvel to the ULR enthusiast group, I feel some responsibility for the current feeding frenzy in orders for Japan's ultimate ultralight.

Hello Gary, Let me add my congratulations to John's on your innovative air loop antenna project. I'm sure that your great idea provides a serious DX sensitivity boost for the SRF-59. As John mentioned

Hello Guys, In late 2007 the C.Crane company came out with their compact SWP radio model, a 455 kHz IF unit which was obviously inspired by the higher-quality Eton E100. The size, features and even st

Hi Gary, Thanks for the information, and the link for purchasing the SWP unit from Amazon. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, my C.Crane SWP unit for the January 2008 Shootout was defect

To Schuster@..., Thanks for your comments. I was the original reviewer of the DT-400W in the 2008 Summertime Shootout, and have also disassembled the radio completely, to compare it with the DT-

Hi Gary, Thanks for your comments. The pushbutton volume controls on the C.Crane SWP are quite awkward, and certainly won't win this model any ergonomic points. My two new SWP units do indeed have iss

Gary, Kevin, Chris and Tim, Inauguration '09: Get complete coverage from the nation's capital.

Gary, Kevin, Chris and Tim, The big question for this C.Crane SWP model (a.k.a. Redsun RP-300) is whether DXers will accept it as a reasonable substitute for the discontinued Eton E100 (a.k.a. Tecsun
