sounds like you have the white version, it is not as good as the orange
version starting with serial number 30,000

it is one of the most sensitive portables you will ever see.
I did a run off last year (or two ago) and published the results here and
they were amazing. the sony had a clear signal when other famous receivers
had mud !

It is pretty uncanny how some folks can get tricked pretty easily.
Whenever I get those e-mails, I just use the "block sender" function and
get rid of them. If I get a string of those e-mails, I go to my provider's
website and report them as spam.
I do use Internet Explorer, but I disable active scripting, install on
demand, etc. If I do need to go to a website that uses Javascripting, I
use Mozilla Firefox 0.8. I did try the newest version of Firefox, but I
preferred the earlier version.
Now, about the radio....................I've got the PLL locking on all
ranges as long as I keep the VFO tuned below its highest frequency.
Too bad A.G. Tannebaum is closed on Fridays; otherwise, I would have
ordered the service manual. I don't think it will be more than another
hour's work to get the radio up and running.
An interesting thing about this radio...it uses a low priced Murata
CFU-455J (4-element) filter for the narrow bandwidth, while the wide
bandwidth seems to be a Toko transformer that has the ceramic filter
integrated into the structure. If the radio wasn't such a difficult unit
to work on, I would replace that filter with an 11-element unit such as a
CFR455.
The radio is definite in the "just above toy" class, but it is a very nice
toy! It will be a keeper.

Good!

I do tech support and there ARE people who think these things are legit
messages! We had a woman try to open and then send a complaint to a
virus laden message from.."Tech support" every time a new copy came even
after I TOLD HER it was a virus, and to delete it, on two previous
calls! The first and second viruses were detected by Norton or whatever
and she was ok, but the last one nailed her PC and totally trashed it.

She calls again, all shakey, and I ask her why she tried to open it,
after I had told her we would NEVER, EVER send an attachment without
talking to her first, ever, period. I told her that an attachment flat
out made the message bogus, period, twice before. Just delete it. Then
she says, and I still can't believe she said this, "Oh GOD, I thought
you just meant for that month it was a bogus message if it had an
attachment!" Huh?? "No ma'am, ever, period, always.."

This same woman replied to one of the bank messages asking for her
account info. Sigh..


What does she do for a living??

College Professor, I verified it!

No wonder so many of my friend's kids are so scary dumb..
