Hello All,
The recent availability of the Sony SRF-PSY03 Service Manual (which has
circuitry identical to that of the SRF-59) has given us the ability to turn
total turkey units into screaming DX birds of prey!

These were noted around 1500 UTC.

Hi John,
I was actually wondering if they had copied your switching network,
although I'm sure you build yours with better quality parts! I like
your arrangement - quick, simple and neat. Unfortunately, it won't work
for me with four different SDR radios running
I find it interesting that this is 15 year old technology.
I wonder what's in the works now?
Also in the same issue of the journal was an article detailing a
single chip radio IC for use in car radios. It was designed for
digital tuning, but also implemented circuitry for a digitally tuned

Excellent article, Gil!!! And the illustrations are truly worth1000
words. One thing that you didn't mention (or maybe I missed) is how
the outboard ferrite bar affects the vaunted nulling ability of the
'59. Better, worse, the same? I'm sure it would be an intuitive
judgement at this
I don't know if it affected Patrick but it smacked us pretty good. Even worse
up in the Sacramento area. Driving around this morning/early afternoon noted
lots of downed trees. Power still

Hi Guys:
I managed to do a bit of late afternoon DX'ing on the SRF-59 today,
while waiting for the Wife to get home from work.
Managed to add 5 more stations to the SRF-59 Logbook bringing the Total
heard now to 130 Stations. I have yet to sit down with this Radio and not
get something new
Not surprisingly, they are producing a near local like signal in Abbeville
Greenwood, SC tonight

You may inspire us all to keep track of the total number of stations heard on

Well on my way back from Astoria, I got in a blizzard for a while. Lots
of snow faling, but fortunately it is in the mid 30s, so hardly any
stuck, but the highway did get slick for a bit as it was coming down so
heavy. Snow is not common on the coast. Then tomorrow night Mon-Tues,
another Pacific
WIMA-1150 DX test heard here reasonably well w/ code,

On AM, as I tune across the band - it's like something in the tuning mechanism
interferes with the radio. It's like a crackling, scratching sound . It stops
shortly after you stop tuning and settle on a station. Very annoying.

That is the sound of the Variable Capacitor plastic
di-electric breaking down. :-(
Not a good thing.
This could be one of the 1st experiences with the
downside of Uber-Cheap radios... parts that do not
last long.
Chances are, your SRF-59 is still
I pulled out my oak-frame 5' loop (from being moth-balled
by Wellbrook!) - rewound the wire, added the capacitor...
and Wahoo!
Does this loop ever cook with the SRF59, the Sangean DX200VX, et al.
I will take a few photos and post it in a few days -
I think everyone should have a big old frame
Hi Russ,
This is Gary the reviewer, and I have probably seen more SRF-59's than
anybody outside of Tokyo. Out of twelve units I've tested, only one had this
problem Kevin's ex-turkey unit (now fully aligned and sensitive). Of
course, alignment does not cure this problem, and
