Is there any difference between using a power cord and using batteries?The proper power supply for Sony radios are expensive - $100. (I have one)
In my experience using both batteries and the Sony power supply, the power
supply is excellent.
In trying to boost reception on my first radio, I relied on a longwire
antenna. Can this be used to boost the AM reception on the 7600gr too?No.
- For shortwave consider the Sony AN-LP1 antenna.
- Highly recommended but currently hard to find.
