Radiwow R-108 Vs. Tecsun PL-380
Obsolete AA Batteries? From a simple case of availability I’ll take the AA batteries every time. At least in USA & Canada. No need to have to send to China or go on line to purchase a 5V battery pack.

Radiwow R-108 Vs. Tecsun PL-380
Looks like a good Ultralite Radio but where do you get the rechargeable?? 5 Volt Battery that powers it if it ever needs replacing? Strange that they didn’t design the Radiwow R-108 radio for AA Batte

Well Gary Debock, Steve Ratzlaff, and a number of others are the experts but having wound a few of these coils I believe the target is between 300 - 500 uH for the AM band. Also some high Q Litz Wire

PL-390 vs. PL-310 & PL-380
Todd, the PL-390 and the PL-398BT which I have does provide a tad better barefoot AM Reception than the PL-380. The difference is that the Ferrite Bar is bigger in the PL-390 and PL-398BT than in the

Good job on the writeup Paul. I guess you are saying to remove the entire Loopstick outside of the radio case for better reception? Also for those wishing to see a video of the actual inside of the VT

Thanks for the detailed listening info Kevin. I will check out those frequencies, the only one that won’t work is KNBR at 680 kHz as we have CJOB at 50,000 watts here in Winnipeg. I did capture KFI -

3" and 2" FSL Tecsun PL-380 Models-- 1575-VOA Reception A/B Comparison
Sounds like virtually the same signal on both the 3” and 2” FSL’s. So for 3 less 100 mm bars (i.e. 8 versus 5 Ferrite Bars) resulting in a lighter weight, the same signal is heard - hard to argue with

Thai Score
Jerry, there is another option re the foam tape to try. I used “Aerotape Self-Adhesive Insulation Foam Tape for 3 of my FSL projects including the latest 3” FSL. The tape comes in rolls of 1/8” X 2” X
