The noise is coming from the wal wart - a typical problem with the cheaper
ones.

I found to be spending quite a lot of money in throw away batteries using
my Sony ICF-SW7600GR portable receiver. Thus I bought a filtered
(stabilized?) power adaptor (a generic one), it works well within many
frequencies but on some of them (always AM) there's background noise and
it's impossible to listen to LW, as it makes too much noise there.

I assume it has something to do with the mains, so my question is can I do
something to filter, even more, the power cord that goes into the
receiver?

Thank you!

If the radio uses AA batteries and you want to use rechargable
batteries,Ray O Vac www.rayovac.com makes some rechargable
batteries that recharge in about 15 minutes.I have always used Ray O Vac
batteries whenever available.Eveready batteries are very good too.
