Longwave Ultralights

Kevin Schanilec
Hi all:
With the current surge of interest in longwave Ultralights, I did a little more research into what is available, other than the Tecsun PL-300WT, 310, 369, 380 and 606. The availability of these would have to verified before they are blessed as Ultralights, since wide availability is one of the criteria: - Sony M37L, which tunes 153-279, but only in 9 khz steps. The UK seller I contacted doesn't ship outside the UK, so not sure these are widely avalable. - Roberts Sport 925, Sports 924 (9924), and Sports 994 (9994): these analog models appear to be Sangean re-brands, and may be able to be aligned upwards to tune much higher than 280 khz. - Roberts Sports 998: this appears to be a LW version of the Sangean DT-210, and presumably has a fixed 153-279 tuning range and perhaps 3 khz tuning steps at best? - Roberts 9917: this digital set appears to be the Sangean DT-220 with LW, and apparently RDS for FM(!). I believe Gary reported that FM on the DT-220 was actually quite good, but that MW was quite lacking. - Steepletone STR-616: the eBay seller claims to ship worldwide. Anyone know what other models are out there?? Kevin S |

I would like to add that the Tecsun PL-210 (PL-200 replacement) also has a full longwave band 150-513 kHz. I have received my 2 local ndb's with it.
