Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?

Exactly it is sensitive enough as tabletops or portables (degen 1103, Sangean 909 etc). The difference may be in other characteristics, like blocking, the presence of BPF, signal handling, but as for

Agree. That's why I set the R8 without a preamp like the ¦Ìbitx. Re more audio on the R8 it was to explain on the different audio levels between the two receivers and a hint for those who would like

Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?
I agree that the drill is a bad idea because it might drill out the plated-through hole. I have an old ice pick that serves me as would a darning needle. It's iron and the solder does not stick to

Re: Spurs/Harmonics fixes for v4 based on v5 board design?
