FS: Sony ICF2010
Hi,
I would like to sell this radio. I bought it about 12 years ago, and it is in perfect condition. Still have origional box and manual. I am thinking of getting another radio. I have been away from the hobby of shortwave for a while. What is the best portable to get right now? Is it the Sony SW77? I need to get back up to speed on equipment. In any event, if anyone is interested in this radio, let me know. Make me an offer I can't refuse. :) Ciao for now, Viper |
$125

Sony apparently regressed on synch detectors. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Do some easy mods to just improve performance. I changed the IF-filters to MuRata CFK and CFJ types. I made the AGC switchable to very fast and very slow. I added 2+2 diodes to prevent overloading the 1st stage FET. |

I'm already tired of my Eton E1 so I'll trade you even my E1 for your 2010.

Is there a place on the web that shows you how to do these mods. Are
they easy? Why do the diode mod. What has to happen to overload the fet, and how can you tell if it already has happened? I don't think mine are overloaded, but I would like to check. What does making the agc switchable get you? What do the filter changes do? Can you tell me audibly what the difference heard would be? TIA, Viper Volker Tonn wrote in message ...

The FET can be blown easily on this radio (by static for example). Its a
known vulnerability with the 2010. There's a user group on Yahoo (search in their groups for ICF2010). You can join this and download info about the FET part number etc. Hope this helps, Mark.
