Thank you, Jim! I'll be making the mods tomorrow and will report my work. I know they should make a 'cool' little radio into a 'super cool' little radio! 73, John, KD5EJA

Thanks Jim! This is fantastic. These mods will be added to my Murania file! I’ve completed most of them with success. 73, Will K0WDO

I've been asked to re-post my list of mods to the Murania receiver...This is the updated list with corrections to previous typos...Please feel free to ask any questions...Jim WB2LHP Detector Gain

Sir, The Murania kits should be available again for order in a couple weeks. Before you order please email me for a quote on postage. The last DX postage was outrageous high. Thanks for your

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the group, I'm from Poland. I would like to build this receiver for my grandson. Murania Kits - When will Murania Kits be available to order? 73 Wojtek - SP9AWP

GM Dave...You are much closer to the towers for WCCW and WTCM than I am...I'm off of Goodrick Road between Cedar Run and M-72...You are experiencing the same problem I initially had...The L1 coil as

Jim, Tried it just now, 7:00 AM (sky still dark) and the 580 khz signal is no longer audible. The only signal is WCCW at 1310 khz and it takes up 1/2 of the band spread. I hear no signals at all

But if I turn up the gain the interfering stations get louder. They fill the whole band and run into each other. Do I have an error somewhere? I can see the towers of the interfering stations and the

GM Dave...I think you may have misunderstood my tuning/gain method...Let me rephrase... In general with the Murania, as you go up in frequency, you will need more gain...That's just a function of the

Jim, Thank you for all your input. I tried yesterday morning (before sun rise) and the two strong local stations just overwhelmed the dial so that no distant stations were heard. If I crank the

I have distant stations at night that sound like locals...It's not about how far away they are but how strong...Weaker signals will need more gain but you'll get the feel for it quickly... For your

Will have to teach an 11 year old how to tune it differently now. There are 3 loud stations in Marion, Indiana but I am trying to show him how to tune for weaker stations after dark. I wonder how

GM Dave...The original circuit worked well if you were not in the presence of strong stations...I have 50kW and 15kW stations in my back yard so I'm completely swamped with RF here...When you say you

I did the mods and the audio is much better, but what was the original problem with the radio if some had good results building it as instructed? I would still like the LED to work as intended. I

Hi Dave...My two resistor mods will absolutely improve the performance of the Murania...The Changes to L1 and C9 are NOT necessary unless you're fussy like me about the frequency coverage... Let me

My 11 year old grandson and I had the same issue, no hiss and no hum. We finished the kit and it did work, however there’s a sufficient amount of audio distortion on the stronger stations. I’m

I am getting great Battery life out of my Murania. Really happy. I listen two hours between 0430 and 1630 every day and a hour or so during the day. I am retired so I can do this. 73 Everett Catlin

After some experiments tonight, it seems the TA7642 is optimized for the AM broadcast band frequencies...Any stations heard on 49 meters were extremely faint...I would recommend the Ozark Patrol for

Will...The coil should be 61 turns total...Jim WB2LHP

Thanks Jim! I did this mod and the other as well. It definitely helps! However, just to clarify, Should I add 10 more turns on L1? I did the 51 turns. 73, Will K0WDO
