Hi Mark,
Thanks for the report. The Amazon price of $99 (via Wall Street Photo)
for this SRF-S84 radio is obviously a huge rip-off, and the model certainly
is not worth anywhere near that price. However, there have been reports of
the same model selling for far less on eBay, and if

Hi Guys:
The last 2 Days have netted me 10 More Stations in the SRF-59
LogbookOne of which is a NEW STATION for the overall Logbook.
Totals on the SRF-59 have Crept up to 218 Stations heard now.
Below is what snuck in here the past couple days..
We continue to get a flurry of new Firsts into the list, along with a
new over all distance record and new ones at 5000 and 500 watts, as
well... The List will be officially updated and published next Monday
morning. In the meantime, I thought you might like an easy reference

Speaking of EBA, what is your observed battery life with the 59?

Gil...thanks for the award!! Is that like the Nobel Peace Prize...and I
get a Million Dollars to go with the Trophy???
thought I read somewhere that someone said200 Hours Battery life
for these things??? Can't remember where...but that sounds like a long
timedon't know???
Bob,
200? That must be dog hours. I've read 20 hours, but wanted to see what
real life hours were. ;)

Even though I have not DXed domestic MW signals from here since 1960
(DXed here as a kid), I still know the dial fairly well and don't
have too much difficulty figgerin out where I am on the dial of my
trusty '59 BUT there are two circumstances where I really need
some outboard help.
Wouldn't it be simpler just to find the parallel program on the SRF-M37V?
That's what I'd do ... unless we collectively determined it to be un-kosher.

Hello All,
While there is no question that Rob Ross gets more DX out of his SRF-59
battery than anyone else, the question of SRF-59 battery run time is kind of
a nebulous concept, because it depends entirely on the audio amplifier's
average volume level, which in turn depends on the
one plus for the little Sangeans -- both of mine turn themselves off after
90 minutes. Then again, they likely draw many times more power, so it's a
bit of a saw-off perhaps
My SRF-59 has had, at quick count, 75+ hours logged on the original battery

Hi all:
I just received a used Sony SRF-85 from an eBay auction. It was
manufactured in the early-mid 1990's, and it is the SRF-39/49/59 in a
sports-friendly skin. As I think some have mentioned before, this is one
hot little radio, and fortunately my unit is aligned and ready to go!

Hi Nick,
The Sony SRF-T615 has very unusual sensitivity for an Ultralight radio,
but very usual images. I receive both KSUH-1450 on 540, and a weak image
