Hello!   My name is Mark and I stumbled across this group reading on QRP kits.  I have several little SONY radios including an SRF-59, that I always felt was a very hot little radio. I kinda figured that out the first time I picked up a Mexican station. (I speak Spanish moderately well, so it helps ID them.) I am fascinated by what I have read about the Chinese DSP radios. I'm thinking of adding a Tecsun PL-380 to my Christmas begging list.... HUMMM that PL-660 looks interesting too.... SO many radios, so little time and money!!!

Hi Mark:

Welcome to the Group! As it turns out, the SRF-59 is what started the whole Ultralight hobby a little over three years ago, and we're glad you found the Group here. I look forward to hearing what else you are able to pick up.

The PL-380 is indeed one of the top performers - the Shoot-outs and Gallery here in the Files section will give you a wealth of information regarding which radio(s) you might want to try next. While the new PL-660 is not technically an Ultralight, we welcome all to join in the sharing of DXing information here on the Group.
