Re: [IRCA] Tecsun question

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Kevin and Steve,
 
The eBay seller "dpmega" has been one of the quickest shippers of cheap  
analog portables like the Tecsun R9012 and R911, at least to me.
 
Also, the Tecsun R1210 sensitivity specs on MW actually are worse than  on 
the R9012 and other Tecsun analog models (namely <1.5mV/m for the R1210,  versus 
<1.0mV/m for the R9012, R911 and others). This indicates some  component 
substitution in the R1210 resulting in reduced MW  performance-- the main reason I 
didn't order one of these models  myself.
 
73, Gary

Hi  Steve:

I ordered a Tecsun R-1210 from DPMega a few days ago (a week?)  from seller
"DPMega", who seems to take a few days longer to ship than  "tquchina". 
This is based on an earlier order from DPMega which arrived  about two
weeks after I ordered it.  As far as I can tell, DPMega is  the only seller
that has the 1210.

I sorta doubt that anyone has  received an R-1210 yet, since it was only
recently realized that, according  to Tecsun's curious way of quoting
specifications, it may potentially have  a better tuner than other Tecsun
models.  I will know how good it is  in a few days when I receive it, and
will let the group know if in fact the  specs that Tecsun quotes are
accurate, and if the tuner (at least the AM  side) is the same as the 911
et al.  For less than 10 dollars, I'm  willing to roll the dice...
