Re: [IRCA] "Hot-Rodded" DT-200VX Digital ULR is a Reality

Fascinating.

Does this loopstick have just an antenna coil, or does it also have a
center-tapped oscillator coil on it?

I had pondered using the loopstick from my DX440 (which is 5 inches
long by about a quarter inch diameter)  on my SRF-M37V, but the M37V
loopstick has 5 wires coming off it, where the DX440's loopstick has
only 2.
