Just took this new radio out of the box - inserted a couple of batteries - and into it.
Staggering sensitivity -- to a fault. I am looking at a 10kw MW at about 4 km away - and their pattern directs about 250kw in my direction. It swamps the G6 all across the dial with even 1/2 the antenna extended - at the same time, the Eton E100 appears about bullet-proof. Likes: A friendly jog dial with fast-slow-lock tuning. -Quick band changing. -Quick control of sensitivity with the whip antenna - but not medium wave. -Rubber like feel to the radio. Dislikes - nothing yet apart from the sensitivity. Will take it up Island on the weekend and get away from the "bigs". -- Colin Newell - Editor - coffeecrew.com | coffee.bc.ca | DXer.ca Web-Design / E-Commerce / Writing Victoria, British Columbia, Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
