Re: [IRCA] PL-360?

[Stephen Airy <pianoplayer88key@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

I've noticed that my PL-606's "6" kHz bandwidth is actually more like a "4".  If I tune 5 or more kHz off in that setting I get the distorted off-tune audio, and the signal strength "dBµ" meter drops off much more than it would if I was still within the bandwidth.  Also when viewing a recording of a station in a computer editing program on a graph (one that shows dB on the vertical axis and Hz on the horizontal axis - what kind of graph is that?) there is very little if any energy much above 4 kHz, even on non-IBOC stations that I know (using other wider-bandwidth radios) broadcast out to 10 kHz or more.  (In spite of this, it's not a particularly sharp / total cutoff above the bandwidth - I have to go down to the 1 kHz (or maybe 2 kHz) setting before the top piano notes (around 4 kHz) in music that has piano on my local Family Radio religious station are inaudible, although at 2 or 3 kHz they are much weaker than in the 6 - i mean 4 kHz
 bandwidth.)  Does yours behave like that too, or is it just mine?

73,
Stephen

Look at the Tecsun PL-606.  It's slightly smaller than the PL-380.  It does not have direct keyboard entry, but does have selectible AM bandwidths of 6, 3, 2, and 
1 kHz.  When conditions allowed I have heard several of the Japanese power houses in Oklahoma on a barefoot PL-606.

I'm looking for something small and lightweight to do a bit of DX-ing in 
my travels. I've seen posts about the 360 but are there any other small 
receivers, maybe a bit bigger that people here would suggest?
