AC adapter for Sony ICF7600GR?
Anyone know where I can get one? It has a special-sized socket that I am
having trouble matching, so I imagine Sony builds an adapter especially designed for the radio. Amazon doesn't have it, so I'm not sure where to look... Any help is appreciated. TNX Dave |

Just a suggestion, that you're better off with batteries. Buy extra. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Would you consider selling me one (or both) of your AC adapters? Just wondering... Dave |

If it's a big deal, I can go dig mine up. [I just use rechargable batteries.] |

http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/2023.html $19.95 "The optional AC adapter for the Sony ICF-SW7600GR was the Sony AC-E60HG. However, Sony discontinued this AC adapter. The newer replacement Sony AC adapter, called the AC E60A emits interference (RFI) making it unsuitable for use with world band radios. Sony does not currently offer a satisfactory AC adapter for the Sony ICF-SW7600GR. "Universal has found a source for a suitable power supply. The MW 41-680 provides the correct the voltage and current. We have added a voltage regulator to it and applied the appropriate plug. It works very well the the ICF-SW7600GR. This adapter is not made by Sony. " Dave wrote: Anyone know where I can get one?

You need more than that -- you need one which is regulated and
filtered. When I bought a RS regulated and filtered adapter a few years ago, there still was buzz on MW (even though there wasn't on shortwave). Again, Universal has a compatible adaptor.

Any help is appreciated. TNX Dave Go to your neighborhood Radio Shack. Be sure you know the voltage and amperes you need. Once the AC adaptor is selected, the salesperson can choose from a large number of plug sizes to fit your socket, and give you the appropos plug. (Take your radio, so they can try the plug in the actual socket.) Bob k5qwg |

There is absolutely no reason in the world to use a switching supply for this. The radio doesn't require much current, but the switching supply will be far noisier than a linear supply unless it's really carefully filtered and shielded. Michael Well, switching or linear, whatever. The point is, if the Sony AC adaptor is so hard to find, and it's $100, a small, conventional power supply would suffice. A communications-quality switching supply would work (all ham transceivers nowadays are paired up with such critters), or a standard linear supply. But the reason transceivers use switching supplies is because on transmit a lot of power is needed. That requirement isn't there for just a receiver. But the "cost" of a switching supply in the application is the noise, or the real cost of something carefully filtered and shielded, or doing it yourself, to keep that noise to a minimum. But that cost has no return, since the receiver requires so little current that a linear supply will be small and not heavy, and efficienty will not be an issue. Michael |

One problem with rectifiers is that they ground and unground the
RF path 120 times a second (60 Hz) and unless bypassed will add a hum to a received station that has nothing to do with ripple. Many supplies have this fault. The effect is that the antenna system is changed 120 times a second. I say go with batteries. Having purchased NiMH cells and a charger, they're also useful for other devices. Get 8 AA cells to start, 4 in the radio and 4 charging. Don't let them run completely down. The clock in the 7600 will run them to zero, and unfortunately the weakest cell gets reverse-charged by the others if that happens, which is not good for that cell. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Many supplies have this fault. Snip Wrong theory on the hum but the right solution. I've giver the reason for this a number of times and I'm not doing it again. Anyone that has build linear and switching power supplies knows the reason. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
