Thanks Zim, and great info on the 16010.I do have an earth ground wire connection to the cold water meter in the basement where the MFJ 16010 Antenna Tuner is located but its not connected!! Great

http://www.mfjenterprises.com/support.php?productid=MFJ-16010 The MFJ 16010 is configured as a low-pass filter, so it probably won't eliminate BC overload. Do you have a good earth ??? An ATU can't

Antenna Jumper around the Radio instead of clipping it to the Aerial, then it wasn't so bad. - As Jay said, use the antenna input, that is what it is there for. Connection direct to the whip is far

I would suggest using the antenna input on the radio rather than clipping it to the whip. The whip antenna is typically amplified, which is obviously not what you want here. It doesn't appear the G3

Not surprising, Jerry : total overload! Take care not to fry the front-end. You could try a trap circuit between the longwire and the receiver to null out the 680kHz local to some degree. Michael

Well after DXing late last night I am dissappointed. The Antenna seems to be way too strong!! One local 50.000 watt station here was overriding ALL the Shortwave Bands. AM reception wasn't as bad, in

I'm no tech expert on radios, but I believe it would be considered an attenuator not an RF modifier.

It's plastic. But I've dropped mine COUNTLESS times onto my hardwood floor and she's fine! I must say though- when I first got mine I was a bit underwhelmed. In fact I had it for a month and a half

Thank for the response. Is the noise-cut a kind of attenuator or rf modifier? Does it affect sensitivity? Andy

Thank you, Brian, for posting the pictures. That gives me a much better idea of the controls. Is the casing metal or plastic? It certainly seems robust. I now have one coming from the ebay seller

Feels fantastic. After 2 months of planning and climbing on my House and Garage to install metal Poles with eyelets, I finally succeeded today in installing an 80 Foot Longwire Antenna from the front

In case it's not obvious from the photos Brian posted, the T615 "case" is very thin. It's little more than scratch protection. The only control not exposed is the noise cut switch and it is easily

Hey Andy and anyone else interested - I snapped those photos and uploaded them to an album entitled SONY SRF-T615 in the Photos section of this message board. Brian

Thanks for the info Farmerik ,yes I know there isno matts info on the net about Sony portables .I did this week a test onFM ,Sony SW 77 and -Grundig YB 400 .The Grundig is the winner ,itpick up

The FM band is enjoying some nice enhancement here in SE lower Michigan. According to the tropospheric ducting forecast at http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html The conditions look very favorable

I don't know the specification from SONY, but I have the ICF-7600G and it is in the top 10% as far as sensitivity for portables on AM I would say. - FARMERIK

The noise-cut lowers interference but it doesn't eliminate it
