I was looking to get an active shortwave loop antenna for my shortwave radio and found the MLA-30+ antenna is popular. Discovered it is based on the Philips NE592N14 IC and a seller on ebay has this on a board for $9. Looking at the IC specs it looks like it will work down to 3V supply limiting it to 60mhz which is fine for shortwave. I should be able to power it with SDRplay T-Bias at 4.5vdc?
Am I missing something here? Anyone see a problem with this?
Ebay has many sellers for this $9 board, but the board has no name. One seller names it "HA SDR Short Medium Wave Radio Adjustable Gain Loop Antenna 100kHz-30MHz".
Here is spec for Philips NE592N14:
