Tecsun PL-310 & Pl-380 Alignment Question

Keith Rennie <krennie@...>
 

Michael,
You can't go wrong with either, but...   it might make a difference to you...  the 310 has a regular tuning knob, the 380, a thumb wheel.
..and.. the 310 has a larger stock ferrite antenna.  If I could only have one, it would be the 310.
Cheers and all the best to you and the whole group for the new year.
Keith

I see Gary DeBock has an article on how to improve the sensitivity of the Tecsum R911 & R9012 by modifying the the loopstick & trimming capactor. Can this be done to the Tecsum Pl-380 & PL-310. I am just new to this site & hobby ( Joined Yesterday ) and trying to decide if I should buy the Pl-310 or Pl-380 since I am mostly interested in AM dxing North America sstations. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I was leaning towards the 310 but now see there may be an upgraded PL-380. Any thoughts on waiting for the newer 380

Got mine in December.  two screws (in battery comp), one covered in holograph sticker... this whole soft mute issue has
not bothered me.  Strong signals in Toronto ON.  Not heard of anything with a more current version than that.
