Hello Curtis,

Thanks for your question on the PL-380 and PL-210 receivers. I have
both of them, and have compared them to each other.

The PL-380 DSP receiver is a very popular radio in the Ultralight DX
group because of its 1 kHz DSP selectivity and less-irritating soft 
mute
threshold. Its AM selectivity is in a different league than that of the
PL-210, so if you are looking for the best adjacent-channel rejection
in a pocket radio, the PL-380 would be your choice. A full review of
the model is posted at http://www.mediafire.com/?w4yuzhj2kyz

The Tecsun PL-210 model lacks the PL-380's breakthrough DSP 
selectivity, and the "dual conversion" feature doesn't improve the 
radio's AM sensitivity or selectivity. For the cheaper Tecsun pocket 
radios, "dual conversion" is simply a band-aid approach to try limiting 
image frequency reception, especially on the Shortwave bands. It sounds 
impressive, but really doesn't accomplish anything for DX reception.

Hi this is Curtis Mcmenamin in Vacaville CA I was wondering if you had
the
chance to compare the tecsun pl380 to the tecsun pl 210 the radios look
alike
but the pl 380 has the DSP feature and the tecsun pl 210 is dual
conversion have
you tested out the pl 210 for selectivity on AM and FM and also the
sensitivity

Hi Cutis,
 
The PL-606 will work well with the Q-stick, or any other tuned ferrite
or air core loop. These will all provide a significant increase in AM
sensitivity.
 
The 7.5" plug-in loopstick will only work with the PL-606 when the
FM-SW external antenna jack is internally rewired to replace the stock
loopstick. The 7.5" plug-in loopsticks were designed for the PL-360,
but will work with other ULR's after they are modified. As for
amplified FM antennas, I assume that you mean the high-gain external
antennas like multi-element FM Yagi antennas. These will provide a
boost in FM reception, once the lead-in wires are brought close to the
whip antenna tip.

Hi this is Curtis Mcmenamin  I was wondering will the quantum stick AM
antenna work on the tecsun pl 606 radio or is there any AM antenna that
can work improving reception on AM. Would the AM antenna that you
demonstrate 7.5 antenna work on the radio. What AM antenna would you
recommend on boosting the reception of weak stations and nulling
capability. Also I would like to know on FM  with the telescopic
antenna if I could use a amplified FM antenna to boost the range of
distant FM stations instead of using the telescopic antenna.Thank you
and good dx.
