Looking  for a Loop that covers 1700-6000Khz for my Palomar LA1 
Loop Amp. Also I  have a very good Collins 51S-1 for trade for a premium 
receiver. I have  pictures if anyone is interested.

Hi Larry
 
Palomar still have this one listed on their site at $135.
The higher frequency loop, up to 15 Mhz, looks to be discontinued  but that 
never matched the LF performance so I'm not really  surprised.
 
I have the earlier version, slightly different coverage on each loop  but 
generally much the same, with the loops named rather than labelled  with 
frequency.
In practice, I've found I rarely use the 1700 to 6000 loop.
Performance is starting to tail off and there's often better options.
 
On Medium Wave and below though I've found it's an excellent desktop  
antenna, performing much better than I'd originally expected.
 
regards
