I own a McKay Dymek DA5 and have compared it in a side by side
test to the Palomar. Both do a credible job. However from research
for a friend I think the Kiwa loop will perform much better.
See the link at: http://www.kiwa.com/pktloop.html
See the reviews at:http://www.kiwa.com/review.html

I would love to try one of these heads up against my DA5, but
based on these reviews and some others that I have read, I
think the Kiwa is much better.

A friend moved to central KA and wanted to listen to WHAS
in Lossyville KY. He was going to buy one when he found
WHAS is available via the web.

I own both the KIWA and a McKay/Dymek DA-7 (which is the same as the DA-5,
except that it also covers longwave), and I can attest that the KIWA is
eminently superior.

You might also consider the AOR LA320. Universal has them in closeout. I have had excellent luck with this one. It has 4 interchangeable loops, which cover LW, MW. 1.6 MHZ, 5-15 MHZ.

Do you have a diagram of the DA7?

I had always thought it's main claim to fame was a
longer feritte rod. TheDA5 diagram is very simple.
It would be nice if it is easy to modify the DA5 to
co er LF as well.

Terry:

The only diagram I have is the one that came in the "manual" (4 pages) and
is labeled, "DA-5". There is no separate diagram for the DA-7.

There is no difference in the length of the ferrite rods between the DA-5
and the DA-7.

Thanks.
Is the band change switch on the loop or
on the tuning unit. If it is on the loop then
they are adding more turns, if it is on the
tuner, then they are adding more capacitance.

I don't know if you have ever had the loop open,
but it has very few turns. Much less then one
would expect on a MW feritte rod antenna.
