Russ,
Iâm already violating the terms you put out there. But here goes:
1.) The Sangean PR-D5 (Not really ultralight, but portable for sure.)
2.) My pocket-sized Sony SRF-T615
The SRF-T615 for me is the pure sense of what an âultralightâ really is. Sure you can modify a lot of small radios, and add massive unwieldy antennas that will pull in great DX. But theyâre hardly ultralight.
The SRF-T615 is not just pocket-sized, itâs almost invisible and yet pulls in great DX on the AM band. Itâs selective, and very sensitive. I listen to mine every night while walking the dogs, and consistently log new stations while doing so. Itâs hard to find here, and expensiveâbut a wonder.
For those of us who donât live on the coasts, performance in logging domestic stations is key. Thatâs a very different challenge than logging odd-frequency splits.
73,
Les N1LF
