Sony Austria (NOT Australia) told me that units with serial numbers above 
34 600 (I think that was the number) are ok.
However they didnt know about the 900 000 series (with the longer 
antenna) that is sold in neighbouring Germany and the US ...

I just saw on GENIE that a recent Media Network show reviewed a new
low end Sony digital receiver, the SW-33.  There wasn't much info
about it on GENIE, so I'm wondering if anyone here heard the show.
Anyone know anything about cost/features/availability?  I did not
see anything about it in the 1993 Passport, so this is all news to me.

The performance or the ease of use or both? The performance didn't
seem to me to be that much better than the SW7600; certainly it didn't
"blow away" the latter on that dimension.


   The SW77 on the other hand is very difficult to drive

Not really. It takes slightly longer to learn to use (maybe an extra
1/2 hour of fiddling around); but after getting over that small hump,
it's actually one of the easiest radios to use that I've ever dealt
with. Not *quite* as simple as the 55; but that's because it does
quite a bit more. 


   the manual is confusing

That's for sure. The manual is truly atrocious.

   full of birdies and `chuff' as you turn the dial.

I haven't run into any birdies. The chuff is for real, though. An
annoyance, but not a serious one imho.

   The dial is tiring to use for
   long periods of time (whereas the 55's dial is light and easy).

Hadn't noticed this myself. I like the feel of the dial.

Another point: the audio is outstanding, much better than the 55.

   The group of Sony engineers that designed the 55 should be knighted.

It's a nice, clean simple design. Even so, I'm not sure why anyone
would buy a 55 when they can get a 2010 for the same price. The named
memory system is a great feature, but I don't know if it's worth
giving up the sync detector to get it.

   The Sony engineers that designed the 77 should be committed.

Whoever put the manual together should find a new job. But the user
interface design itself is excellent, just as good as the 55. Overall,
the 77 is an outstanding, slightly over-priced portable, maybe the
best portable on the market right now.

   A new station from Latin America can be heard on 4962 kHz.  The station

According to information obtained on the phone from station manager
Agrimensor (Surveyor!) Roberto Vargas, and also treasurer of ASDORA,
Radio Cima 100 (cien) relays the FM transmission (100.5 MHz) on
shortwave 4962 kHz, 1 kW, between 2100 and 1000 hours UTC.  

Their postal address is Apartado Postal 804, Santo Domingo.
The station appreciates reception reports, especially by fax, although
I can't recall the number at this very moment.  Nontheless, it can be
had through Andy Sennitt, of the WRTH. 

As for their slogan, "Cima caneando", the second word is a reference
to the Dominican girls' band Las Chicas del Can.  "Canear" is a
completely new word not to be found in any dictionary, meaning
"dancing along in a festive mood" (as they do.) 

I am sure Radio Cima would appreciate hearing from foreign listeners
in time before October 12th, which is the fifth centenary of the
discovery of the Americas, as they announce "proyectando la Republica
Dominicana en el quinto centenario."  They were indeed very friendly
on the phone.

Hello,

I recently bought a BFO PA01-09 accessory for my Grundig 6000 receiver. The
only problem is that my grundig has a six prong plug for SSB on the back, but
the adaptor has only six bare wires and no plug. I have no idea which wire goes
to which prong. If I where to try out all possibilities, I'd have to try out
the 6!=720 possible combinations. 

Does anyone out there know anything about this? Thanks,

Well, I just bought my SR3 ($44.95 at Lechmere in Framingham MA).  It's been
sitting next to my SR2 for a day or so, so it's time for some initial
thoughts...

*Get a good look at the box.  Obviously some changes were made between the
radio prototype pictured on the box and the product inside.  The box shows
the VHF whip in the same style as on the SR2...a fat one with a black plastic
tube over the outermost section...a bit more durable, I think, than the
production version, which is a standard metal whip.  No wonder the
manual makes a big deal out of how easy the whip is to replace if it
breaks :-).  The dial on the box is different.  It shows a 15-number log
dial, rather than 10 on the real SR3 (and on the 2)...and some of the
wording is different.

*The SR2 seemed more solid.  The case of my SR3 is already scratched
in one place, while my 8-month-old SR2 looks brand new.  The dials feel
about equally solid, and I do like the side-mounted tuning dial on the
SR3 better than the front-mounted SR2 version.  The handle on the SR2
seems more solid.  

*I like the wide filter on the SR3.  STRONG local signals like WBZ
sound better on the SR3 than on any other AM radio I have ever listened
to, including the SR2.  Weaker signals don't benefit from the wide
filter, especially in an area like Boston where the AM dial is packed
tightly with stations.

I'd still like to see a true narrow filter to clean up audio on
weak DX.

*The dial on the SR2 (a clear piece of plastic with a red line 
serving as an indicator in front of a slide-rule dial) is easier
to read than the SR3 version (a red piece of plastic with a black
line, which appears in two slots behind the slide-rule dial).  Of
course, the tuning indicator is so inaccurate that it doesn't really
matter.

*Quality control remains variable.  My first SR2 was so inaccurate 
on FM that I couldn't tune it below 88.1.  My second had too much
tuning slop.  My first SR3 seems to be perfect.

On the whole, I like the SR3 and would recommend it unreservedly to
anyone who didn't get an SR2.  I'd also recommend that anyone with
an SR2 get an SR3 as well, if for no other reason than for the
wide filter and the expanded AM band.  As for me, I'm keeping both.
Anyone have an SR1 so I can complete my set :-)?

Welcome to the rec.radio.shortwave newsgroup.  This group was created late in
1989 after a suggestion by Richard Shapiro, in order for those of us who are
interested in the hobby of monitoring radio communications to have a friendly
place to exchange messages, tips, and opinions.  If you are interested in this
sort of hobby, then we think that you will be at home here.

This is a set of monthly postings put together to answer some of the more
commonly asked basic questions about the hobby.  There is a posting explaining
some of the basics of shortwave (HF) radio, one covering medium wave (also
known as AM) and FM DXing, and one covering scanning the higher frequencies
(VHF and up).  If you find that you have other questions, either following up
items mentioned here, or other questions, please post.  There are a number of
people here with varying degrees of expertise and experience who are more
than willing to help.  We hope we've anticipated many of the questions the
beginner will have.  And so, without further ado....


o What is rec.radio.shortwave for?

As stated above this group was created for USENETers to have a place to discuss
the radio monitoring hobby.  This group is not moderated, however 'serious'
arguments and any kind of flame wars are strongly discouraged.  That is not to
say that genuine disagreement and discussion of differing opinions is not
welcome.  We only ask that you keep the tone friendly, and in the spirit of
international cooperation upon which the hobby is founded.

This group is intended to be a place where ANY radio monitoring topic can and
should be discussed.  We are happy to hear from posters who listen to any part
of the radio or microwave spectrum, from DC to daylight.  We discuss topics of
almost any kind, ranging from (but not limited to) shortwave broadcasting,
scanning of all kinds, clandestine and pirate broadcasts, DXing small or
distant shortwave stations, utility and teletype monitoring, military
eavesdropping, the ECPA, station schedules, QSLing sw broadcasters, spectrum
usage, equipment design and modifications, antennas, receiver reviews and
recommendations, and many more.

Despite what the newsgroup name might imply, we definitely DO NOT limit
discussions to shortwave only.  Those of you who are interested in scanners and
VHF/UHF/etc. will find that you fit right in.


For more in-depth answers to questions you may have, we direct your attention
to the postings entitled "Welcome to rec.radio.shortwave (Shortwave)",
"Welcome to rec.radio.shortwave (Scanning)", and "Welcome to
rec.radio.shortwave (AM/FM DXing)", depending on where your interests lie.

Does anyone out there have a current reference that lists low-power TV
stations in the US who could look up one for me? The one I want info on
is on channel 64, on which I am getting a very snowy picture of one of
the Home Shopping type services. I am in St. Louis, MO, so it could be
either in Missouri or Illinois, somewhere in the St. Louis region.

We already have Home Shopping over-the-air services on two different
UHF stations, on channel 46 (the original, WESL I believe, in East
St. Louis, IL) and 21 (not sure about the call on this one; I think it 
is in Missouri). The odd thing about this signal on channel 64 is that
it is different from either of these other two, not carrying parallel
programming. This channel 64 one displays 800 788 2454 as the number to
call to buy the junk they peddle, and the only thing I've seen so far on
it has been jewelry. The company name seems to be "Studio Grand Opening".

I'm only getting a video signal, no understandable audio, and I've tuned
in on the half-hour a couple times and never seen a station ID. WESL IDs
pretty regularly, reducing their HSC picture to part of the screen and 
displaying their ID and often weather info. They also break each hour
for a 5-minute or so local-affairs interview segment, thus showing a
great deal more community-service involvement than these other LPTV 
stations which do not appear to do anything but hawk their products.

Anyway, any info provided on where this channel 64 may be coming from,
the actual ID, and power, etc., info will be appreciated!

Hopefully, they'll still be aching when Uncle Charlie shows up.  The FCC
is getting a good deal more...er....shall we say, "motivated" since the
amounts of the fines they can impose were greatly increased.  (How does
