That's where I saw it before. Thanks.

Thanks, Kevin. I believe the coil seller said 365 pF is needed to tune down to 500 kHz. Perhaps your coil needed less capacitance than the one he currently offers.

Thanks for the info, Kevin. What is a good variable capacitor to use with this coil? Any links would be appreciated.

This is very cool stuff, Gary. It sounds like you may have been using the 1 kHz filter on your PL-380. - Gary K.

Hi Kevin, I recall that you built a very small loop antenna of about 4"-5" diameter. Is there an article describing the construction of this antenna? I couldn't find it on www.dxer.ca with all of the

A few years ago, a brush fire on Catalina Island put the KBRT 740 transmitter out of service for awhile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBRT

Hi guys, I own a CC Witness. It definitely isn't a DSP radio, and its AM performance is inferior to that of other ultralights like the DT-400W and PL-380. I bought the CCW mainly because of the timer

Hi Gary, I think the lack of a way to tune up or down one 10 kHz increment by pushing a single button or rotating the tuning wheel one click is the thing that annoys me the most about the PL-380. (Way

Hi Gil, Thanks for the info. Yes, my BB charger has the trapezoidal shaped plug. Regards, Gary

Hello all, This has probably been answered before, but can a 5 V, 0.75 A BlackBerry charger with a mini-USB connector be used to charge the PL-380? Thanks, Gary

Hello all, Bill (Radio-Timetraveller) has posted an extensive review of the PL-380 on his blog. http://radio-timetraveller.blogspot.com/ Based on his review, and the earlier review by Gary De Bock, I

Hello all, I just purchased a PL-380 from anon-co. Joyce sent me a note indicating that the price on the PL-310 has dropped from $39.99 to $34.99. I decided on the PL-380 because of the reduced soft m

The 2010 shouldn't "automatically" be selecting the sideband in sync mode. Mine doesn't work this way. Also, listen to the 2010 in sync mode on an IBOC station, and you'll hear digital "rushing" noise

Hi Powell, Actually the Sony 2010 has SSB sync (USB or LSB), but not DSB sync. I've owned one for about 24 years. I owned several E1XM units, but never got one that worked totally right. The best sync

Hi Richard, I believe the post on ABDX regarding the IBOC digital sideband layout, and the resulting interference, is correct. One other thing to keep in mind is that KNX itself is an IBOC station. It

The E5 is also much too large to be an ultralight.

Hi Scott, How hard would it be for Tecsun to modify the firmware of their radios so that soft mute can be turned off with a combination of key presses? Ideally this change should be retained through a

Hi Kevin, The FM on my R9012 is terrible (it is the newer version). It picks up the same station at multiple spots on the dial, and it can't pick up several stations that my DT-400W gets with no probl

Hi Scott, When I use the Q-Stick with my 7600GR, I reduce the signal strength using the attenuator, peak the Q-Stick, and then increase the signal strength using the attenuator. I find that using this

Great news, folks. Jim Tonne's BCmap software has been upgraded, and now includes FCC data from 12/1/09. http://tonnesoftware.com/bcmap2.html
