I've got to say that when I see these pictures I can't believe the natural beauty of the location, both technically and aesthetically. What a great spot for both! Jay

Actually, the CC Pocket and other earbud radios with no whip antenna use the earphone cord as an antenna, not a counterpoise. Jay

A counterpoise or artificial ground can indeed enhance reception but is always trial and error as its effectiveness may vary from one situation to the next. To do this you need to access the radio's c

Mike, It's funny that you mention the Satellit 800 and E1 because they are top performers and the E1 was a breakthrough in some ways, as a portable with Sync which worked (very well) in three modes (U

What a beautiful spot...have a great time! Jay

Paul, I have found the Panasonic Eneloops regular capacity, not super capacity AA's are verly lw self-discharge. They hold their charge over over a year if unused. I just unpacked some after 14 months

My PL-330 generally runs for several days (perhaps 2-3 hours each day) playing at medium volume. I find the BL-5C 3.7 Volt Li-ion batteries have a long life for their size. I have them in several radi

An amazing list considering he used only the Radiwow barefoot...really shows how the skill of the user is at least as important as the quality of the equipment. You gotta respect that! Jay

I just googled Folding Card Table and found several with widely varying prices but the basic tables start at $30 and go up. Mine is a Samsonite which is about 30 years old and it has a vinyl soft top

I just use a regular folding card table...they cost around $30-$40 and are very rugged. The fact it folds up makes it easy to carry and store. I often go out into the back yard or drive to nearby park

An amazing looking location...be careful there!

Paul, First, I hope you get well soon and don't' have serious Covid complications. As for in-home challenges I enjoy getting out into the yard where reception is best and updating my logs whenever I c

OK. Not the sharpest copies but readable. I have scanned the complete PL-368 Manual and it is attached...best we can do until a real electronic version comes out. Jay

I'm away most of today but will try to get to it as son as I can.

Paul, I scanned the two pages of the PL-368 manual which explain the ETM function and have attached them here. It is the same as the PL-330 ETM and I have attached that entire manual for other details

I have found that the main reason for different results like this is that local conditions are often the limiting factor in reception and mask the differences in the radios. For example, if the noise

Motion detector lights are a big offender. I had to replace a garage door opened because the motion detector light wiped out almost all AM and SW through the entire house, although usually it is a bit

One other aspect of this I haven't seen discussed (and forgive me if it was and I missed it) is what I would call The Tail Wagging The Dog". I have seen many cases where a struggling AM station was gr

The main problem I find in my cars with AM IBOC is that when you live on the fringe of an AM HD station area the switching is obvious, and the only way to stop it is to go through menus to disable HD

It would seem to be a problem with your specific radio not the model in general because mine does not exhibit this kind of drain. I can leave it for a month with no problems. FWIW, Jay
