Gary, Thank you for answering my question(s). I'm going to order one next payday as long as the XYL doesn't get to the bank before I do. :)

Hi Chris, Thanks for your question. During detailed testing of the new PL-310 in my suburban location, there was no problem at all with overloading-- and the DSP Ultralights in general have developed a reputation for being almost "crunch-proof" in resistance to overloading. There were also no AM spurs or mixing products detected, although like the PL-300WT (and G8) models there are some internally-generated heterodynes, as detailed in the PL-310 review article. My 9' (side) PVC box loop will severely overload most Ultralight radios when tuning in locals, but the DSP Ultralights (PL-310, PL-300WT, G8, D96L and D92L) are unfazed by such massive RF. My guess is that you will have no problem at all in overloading with the new PL-310, even in urban areas. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 10/13/2009 12:33:30 A.M.

Is this still true with the PL-310? On a business trip last May to Salt Lake City, Utah I noticed the E100 was very prone to severe overloading across the entire MW spectrum. It made DXing impossible above ~ 900 kHz. Would the PL-310 be better than an Eton E100 in a high-RF, urban environment such as SLC? Thanks & 73!
