I currently have a Sony ICF-7600GR, and was wondering, how you try to
hear activity on nets that are huge. I know on a shortwave radio that
you can basically only really hear one channel at a time and can't
scan like VHF/UHF but when I look at networks like the Mystic Star and
some other huge ones, it's like how do you see if any channel has
activity easily, when you have to basically type in each and every
frequency to the radio.

Really not that difficult with a HF receiver having a decent number of
memories than can be tuned through quickly using a tuning knob. Just
enter the frequencies of interest one time and tune back and forth
tilll you get a hit.

Push button tuning through memories on the 7600 would not in my
opinion be a very effective way of tuning back and forth rapidly
across many stored frequencies.

The only way you will truly be able to "see" whether adjacent
frequencies are in use is with an expensive receiver having a spectrum
display.
