I found to be spending quite a lot of money in throw away batteries using
my Sony ICF-SW7600GR portable receiver. Thus I bought a filtered
(stabilized?) power adaptor (a generic one), it works well within many
frequencies but on some of them (always AM) there's background noise and
it's impossible to listen to LW, as it makes too much noise there.

I assume it has something to do with the mains, so my question is can I do
something to filter, even more, the power cord that goes into the
receiver?

Thank you!


Hi Zappa

When I bought my Lowe HF-150, it needed 8 batteries to power it for outside
use. There was no way I was going to buy batteries every couple days for it.
So, I bought this 8 way battery recharger and picked up a deal on 20 or 24
2100Mah batteries for it. The 2100's were the not the best, 2300 was the
best at the time, but I found the 2100 to be just as good for the money.

I figured out the premium for the 2300s over the 2100s were not worth it.
But this was like 6 months ago. I'm sure prices have changed since then.

Not that much longer lasting power in the 2300s over the 2100s for me
anyway.

Check out this guys store. He has LOTS of rechargers and battery combo
deals. I bought my 8 way recharger on it's own. Don't know if he still lists
the recharger alone anymore. But still, take this auction for instance. It's
not a bad deal. It charges both cads and NiMH's.
5 hours for cads, 8 hours for Nih. So charge 4 while you're using the other
4. He also has, 4 and 10 way rechargers and various others.
