  • Notes

  • Export version of Ever Ready Skyscraper L26 (which has LW instead of one of the SW bands).

    IF sensitivity 15uV, about x10 better than typical DK92 DF91 DAF91 DL94 models due to an extra RC coupled DF96 IF amp. DK92 gives better SW performance than DK96 (DK96 might not work at 22 MHz) and DL94 is up to twice the power of DL96 (louder).

    Uses B103 Combo battery LT 250mA, HT 12.5mA, DL94 Ia=5.88mA
