So today was the first chance I had to test my new DX Engineering RF Pro 1B Loop Antenna. Needless to say I am very happy with my purchase. I have it set up to hook it up to either the radio in my truck by simply disconnecting the regular antenna or using it on my Commradio CR1A. Today I was able to pull out 780 KOH from Reno at a mere 495 miles to the west! This was at 1:00 pm. My location was in Delle Utah. Halfway between Salt Lake City and Wendover. I will post my logs later on the other forum when I can.
My car stereo is a Sony CDX-GT270 AM/FM AND Shortwave. Like I stated, I am very happy with this antenna, the ONLY complaint I have is the fact they used a 24 Volt AC power supply to power the preamp. Why AC was used and not DC is beyond me. No problem. I just use my clean Sine Wave AC-DC inverter.
Will be doing a nighttime test from Wyoming possibly in the coming weeks and will give an update on how that goes.
