I have just made a sony xr ca620x installed to my car which is a
volkswagen polo automatic . I had a blaupunkt before that and it had a
strong noice coming from the ignition and pumps(?). I had tried to
solve this problem for a very long time. Visited, called and e-mailed
vw and blaupunkt in vain. I could not solve this noise problem. I use
MW for BBC world service in 1323 and VOA in 1260 and 792 kHz in
Istanbul. My new sony has the same problem in MW but, suprisingly I
have much less noise on shortwaves which does not bother me at all. I
haven't had much time yet to estimate my car radios sensitivity - I
listened to some weak stations from almost every band from 60 m to 16
m tonight-. It seems as sensitive as my Sony icf 7600D, a little less
selective then 7600D. I am very happy with my new car radio so far.
Voice of Rusiia's jazz hour was marvellous at 22:00 in 31 m band. I
strongly suggest this 620x to anyone who likes to listen to sw
broadcasts while driving.
regards, oan.
