Hi Chris; I have no real issues like that with my Eton E100. That is so weird! During the day I get some mixing products 910 KHz removed from the "parent" frequency (i.e. 1430 on 520). If I place my Select-a-tenna next to the radio, and peak it for the "product" frequency, the product signals vanish. That is the only issue and it's a known one but not overloading.
The only thing close to overloading is splatter from WNDE 1260 on their day ND day rig. I am about 5 miles away from their Fall Creek Road site and from 1190 KHz on up, you hear what sounds like a bass drum, thumping. I don't notice this behavior going the other way (1270 on up), except for WNDE's IBOC buzz. This happens on every radio that I own but I wouldn't say that is overloading either. GARY: Thanks for the review! It sounds exciting.... 73, Dave in Indy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:19:17 -0600 From: "Chris Knight" <[email protected]> To: "'Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America'" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRCA] Tecsun's New PL-310 DSP Receiver-- the "Ultimate Ultralight?" Message-ID: <7fb8e9e963dd4def9488919e71f8f...@chrispc> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi Gary, Thank you for the great article! A few weeks ago someone mentioned a PL-300WT (G8) is not as susceptible to overloading as an Eton E100. Is this still true with the PL-310? On a business trip last May to Salt Lake City, Utah I noticed the E100 was very prone to severe overloading across the entire MW spectrum. It made DXing impossible above ~ 900 kHz. Would the PL-310 be better than an Eton E100 in a high-RF, urban environment such as SLC? Thanks & 73!
