Re: [IRCA] New Palstar tunable ferrite loop on their webpage
Thanks for the link Steve.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how it performs. In any case I
think it's good they're giving it a go and at least providing more
options for us. Maybe a little feedback will assist in future designs!?!

From a note posted today on the yahoo Palstar group, the new LA-30
tunable
ferrite loop is now listed on the Palstar webpage. http://palstar.com/la30.php
There's a preliminary manual and schematic you can download, and
some pictures. A MW loop head is standard with extra-cost optional
LW and low-HF loop heads. No length for the ferrite rod is given but
comparing with the 8.25" wide enclosure, the rod looks to be around
5-6" long. No tilting of the loop head, just the usual horizontal
rotation. An internal picture shows a very large tuning capacitor;
the schematic says it's 1100 pF.
"Only" $329 for this unit with the MW loophead, and $60 each for the
two optional loop heads.
(I wonder how Gary's Slider ferrite rod compares--my bet is on the
Slider, which seems to be a longer (more sensitive) ferrite rod
compared to the Palstar's. With a little effort one could make LW
and HF Slider rods as well.)
