[IRCA] Transistor Radio Shoot-Out

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Mark,
 
Thanks very much for running this detailed test, and posting the  
interesting results.
 
Steve Ratzlaff and I had fun developing the modifications for the  
"Sliderized-Filterized SWP," and we are happy that the little 9 kHz-split DX  chaser 
gave a good account in sensitivity and selectivity.
 
Your impressions of the relative performance of the other portables follow  
my own tests pretty closely, and should provide helpful purchasing  
information to interested hobbyists. Thanks again!
 
73, Gary DeBock

The West  Coast DX community has done quite a bit of portable radio 
testing  lately.

I figured I would make an East Coast contribution with an  article 
"Transistor Radio Shoot-Out at Menotomy Rocks Park".

This  is available at  
"http://home.comcast.net/~markwa1ion/TransistorRadioShootout.pdf";.

Radios  tested were from all size categories from the ultralight to the 
big and  bulky.

Parameters evaluated in these daytime tests included sensitivity  (weak 
signal audio recovery), selectivity, and strong-signal handling  ability.

Those who have read some of the other reviews out there on the  web may 
find some similarities with others' findings.

The more of  this experimentation by more people from more viewpoints, 
the  merrier.
