I'll check this out, but I think this is going to fall into the realm of things we put up with for the amount of stuff that's packed into these receivers. I have not had a SONY portable yet, including SW-100 and 2010s, that had its oscillator smack on frequency across the range. g8tzl wrote: I have just bought a Sony SW55. I am generally very impressed with the radio in terms of both performance for a small portable and build quality. However , I am experiencing a problem regarding SSB which is not related to warm up drift or the SSB "warble" problem. When I tune to a known stable frequency such as the weather Volmet transmission on 5.505MHz USB , around 50% of the time the radio is more or less spot on frequency and you can tune across the signal in the normal way. However , at other times when I switch on I need to tune down 1KHz to 5.504MHz to resolve the signal and as I tune across the signal I can again resolve clear audio another 1 KHz lower on 5.503MHz - its as if there are 2 spots to resolve the signal as you tune across it!. Sometimes I can switch off the radio and switch on again and I am back to spot on frequency of 5.505 - other times I need to rest the radio overnight before it will come back onto frequency. I wonder if anybody else has experienced this problem? Hopefully its an alignment problem or something simple. Does anybody know any fix or whether there is a Sony radio "frequent faults and fixes" web site. regards Martin Press calibrate. |
