  • Demonstration of the ultimate AM-DXing bargain portable-- the new XHDATA D-109 model, with an enhanced 7.5 inch Medium Wave loopstick replacing the midget stock antenna. For a total cost of around US$65, a DXer can have super sensitivity with the full range of DSP filter selections-- and outstanding audio as a bonus! Three AM-DX fringe stations are received and compared on the stock and "supercharged" D-109 models during stable daytime conditions. The stock model is fun, but the enhanced model is the ultimate cheap thrill!

    Pretty cool mod. I enjoy watching your videos with them DIY loopstick antennas. The D-109 is a good radio and also very sensitive on all bands. Have a good weekend Gary.

    Will you be making this antenna for sale? I don't see anything like it on the market.

    Great job, Harry!
    What is the inductance of the coil?

    • @DXerGary
      @DXerGary  Год назад +2

      Thanks Vertak Shop, the coil inductance is 350 microhenries. The loopstick construction is described in the article posted at dreamcrafts.box.com/s/xu7drqxg7epmljm4yu4579hcrin9em6p

    Wonder how old super radios would compare?

    Does extending the telescopic antenna not work for MW reception you are testing? Just curious why you didn't use it in the video. I'm new to this so just started looking into how I can recieve Vietnamese stations from the UK.

    • @DXerGary
      @DXerGary  11 месяцев назад +1

      @DevineOne, the telescopic whip antenna doesn't have any effect on MW reception in the D-109, because it isn't part of the MW circuitry. The MW loopstick connections go directly to the DSP chip as the only antenna for MW reception.

    How about using the antenna like you're supposed to on the left radio?? That's what they're there for. It's not a legit test...

    • @DXerGary
      @DXerGary  Год назад

      Seasparrow, I did use the antenna on the left radio-- three times (for each relative strength test).

    just buy a bigger radio with a larger antenna.

  • @HardcoreDXLithuania
    @HardcoreDXLithuania Год назад +1

    It's probably better to make a stand for antenna, then drill a socket in radio case. Then you can connect and disconect it rather than gluing it.

      Saulius, this external loopstick was a complete replacement of the internal stock loopstick, which was removed from the cabinet. The 7cm stock loopstick was replaced by a 19cm external loopstick.
