Owner's manual for the discontinued Radio Shack 15-1853 loop
Greetings, all--
I just purchased the very last in-store stock of the 15-1853 here in the DC area ($10 clearance) -- unfortunately, it was the store's old floor display model, which was missing its box, the manual, and the wire to run to the external AM and ground connections on the back of my new GE SRIII. Since the 15-1853 has long since been discontinued, the Radio Shack website no longer posts the online version of its owner's manual, which I'm trying to track down (I need it for schematics and/or tips on the optimal cable I'll need to run from the loop to the radio, plus it's just my personal habit to always have owner's manuals around 'just in case'). I also tried the 'Wayback Machine' at archive.org to see if I could access the manual from earlier versions of the Radio Shack website, but no dice... If anyone happens to have a copy of the 15-1853's online owner's manual on hand, I'd certainly be most appreciative to receive a copy via e-mail. Many thanks! - Cez. |
Just put it next to the SRIII at one end, with its axis aligned with
the long dimension of the SRIII. Tune for max noise at each frequency. Put both radio and loop on a lazy susan, if you want more variation. You won't notice much change at night, but there's a good deal in the daytime. Actually the loop works better (improves more) with a smaller radio; the SRIII is already pretty good. The loop is an impedance matcher. Once the radio is hearing propagating noise (which the SRIII almost does on its own) further improvements don't do you any good, since they would only enhance both signal and noise. But until that, you're beating out internal receiver noise by raising both external noise and external signal. At night, you're hearing a thousand signals on every frequency, so sensitivity isn't really the problem; and thus the loop doesn't seem to be helping much at night. It's hard to tell it's even there. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

*MANY* thanks, Randy -- and many thanks to all! Happilly enjoying my
GEIII here in Arlington VA with the added boost... - CEZ. "Randy A. Hefner" wrote in message ... http://support.radioshack.com/suppor...oc62/62069.pdf "Cez" wrote in message om...
