[A-DX] a True Silabs Chip radio from German importer?

[Marc Coevoet <sintsixtus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good news, I bought me a radio in Brussels in a small shop that is a 
Silabs implementation with good LW.

It had the features of a Silabs Based radio, like the Tecsun pl 390 (or 
310/360/380), and at home I opened the box, and saw the silabs component 
inside ...

The chip was used in an Elektor radio project last summer.

While the Tecsun suffer from poor LW implementation, here the LW works 
great: I live near the Coast/Dunkirk, and on 234 I have the strong RTL, 
while I can still receive 225 Radio Poland.  Going up to 227 is still 
Poland, and further 229 is 50/50 Poland/RTL.  So, the filter works great.

The German importer did a good job,

Unfortunately, I can only say the shop is close to "Place Rouppe" in 
Brussels...  But the radio will be sold elsewhere (on internet?)


I dare to say I payed 109 euros, although it might have been 15, 39 or 
just plain 20.
