I can vouch for the performance of the Torus Tuner SW loop. I have tested
it side by side with the Sony Loop and found that the Torus Tuner has better
selectivity. I hope these antennas are back in production soon. Cheers,

So Here is the Question - I Want To Know (a la Dr. Gene Scott)

Does Anyone Know what is the 'meaning' of
this statement on the "Torus Tuner" website:
"UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE"
- - - http://www.torustuner.com - - -

Is "Ed Wawzinski" the owner/maker of the Torus Tuner:
[ ] On Vacation (Well Deserved)
[ ] Sick or Ill

Does anyone know what Ed's status is ? ? ?

When using it at home, I use it with a Torus Tuner loop (passive)
antenna (which can be used on the 7600GR, as well) which really helps
dramatically in many situations... Interestingly, I searched around
before purchase... and it seems like the only negative reviews, were
from people who did not own the antenna - and were basing it upon
theory...
I bought it with the amplifier -- but as you can read in the thread
listed below, it's not really needed for portables... so I rarely
connect the amp.

The Torus Tuners are hand-made in the US -- so you wont find them in a
store in the UK...

Take a look at this thread from rec.radio.shortwave, for example (you
