Sony 7600GR Antenna question
Hi
On the 7600GR, does a long-wire work on LW/MW as well as Short-Wave when attached to the telescopic whip, or would it be better plugged in via the external-antenna jack, or does it not affect LW/MW thanks SW |

As far as I can determine, the radio defaults to the built-in ferrite loop for
broadcast band reception and below. The instruction manual on page 35 shows an illustration indicating that when listening to MW/LW frequencies, an external antenna must be coupled to the radio via an induction loop; whereas on SW frequencies, the external antenna is connected via the external antenna jack or via clip to the built-in telescoping whip.

Portable Wire Antenna "PWA" for the Sony ICF-2010. To 'quote' Tom Sevant "This is an antenna I put together after having problems with overload on my Sony 2010 portable shortwave receiver" GoTo= http://www.geocities.com/n2uhc/portablewire.html FWIW: Basically, the PWA is a a short to medium length "Random Wire Antenna" that is 'couple' via the a 'portable' radio's Whip Antenna for improved reception. HOW-TO-USE-IT - Place the "Coupling Coil": #1. Vertically [Over] the 'portable' radio's "Partially Collapsed" Whip Antenna for Improved Shortwave (SW) Radio Reception. - Vary the "Length/Stub" of the Whip Antenna to 'adjust' the amount of effective coupling and Signal Transfer. #2. Vertically [Over] the 'portable' radio's "Fully Extended" Whip Antenna for Improved FM Radio Reception. #3. Horizontally [Near] the 'portable' radio's AM/MW Ferrite Rod Antenna for Improved AM/MW and Longwave Radio Reception. - Adjust the 'position' of the Coupling Coil to vary the amount of effective coupling and Signal Transfer.
