[IRCA] 2009 Ultralight Radio AM-DX Shootout
Hello Guys,
It's time for another ultra-lightweight championship fight, with the
latest innovative wonders from the Far East competing for ultimate pocket radio
DXing glory.
Already qualifying for the competition are the Tecsun PL-450 (a
600-memory wonder with a striking resemblance to the discontinued Eton E100, also
made by Tecsun) and the C.Crane SWP model, which is much improved from a
substandard unit received a year ago.
Under serious consideration are the Degen DE1123, an AM-FM-SW DSP MP3
player/recorder, the Grundig Mini 300, and the Sangean SR-3. For these last
three units, the primary mission is to investigate the AM-DXing potential of
these radios in comparison to the top models of previous Shootouts (E100,
DT-400W, and SRF-T615)-- so if any of you have been disappointed in the DXing
performance of any of the above models, your opinion would be greatly
appreciated. If many such negative reports are received concerning any one model, it
may be dropped from the Shootout. Conversely, if you have had excellent DX
performance from a currently-available, qualifying Ultralight radio that has
never been reviewed in a formal Ultralight Radio Shootout, your opinion would
also be very welcome. Prior to the Shootout, AM RF alignment is planned for
all contestants, to ensure that factory alignment issues do not unfairly
condemn a model.
Thanks again to all who have suggested the above models for
consideration, and especially for the great excuse to purchase many new radios (twice a
year :>)
73, Gary DeBock
