Being able to listen to the A.M. / F.M. / Shortwave bands in one radio that
you can hold in your hand and uses AA standard batteries can be very
useful. Individual requirements for what someone wants will determine
the category of product they get. If the requirement is
hand held using standard batteries
... well, there just isn't anything else out there to compare to a
PL660. Fortunately the current production of PL660 products
do not have a lot of issues. I suspect they pay attention to
customer feedback and make changes in production as they
can fit it in. Current radio has great A.M. quality and with great
sensitivity,and audio is quality is good.

Search Google for - PL660 dynamic squelch mod - to see if your
older PL660 can be improved

The single most useful tool is a battery powered portable AM radio. It
also helps if it has shortwave.
The MFJ dish you refer to is an ultrasonic microphone given high
directivity and sensitivity with the dish reflector. It is highly useful
in isolating coronal discharge and actual arcing on power poles. It may be
MFJ, but it does work well. Even the power utilities use the technology,
although not MFJ, but they pay a lot more for their instruments.

What are people using for noise sniffing? I saw the MFJ dish but I try to
avoid their stuff. I know there is no one perfect tool. - W0MU
