i have sony 7600d digital radio. 10 khz...30 mhz continously and good reception including ssb (lsb ,usb) .But it consumes too much current and causing battery replacement too often.(so i use an external power source)..When i compared sangean's big size communication receiver , sangeans reception was better.Also grundig's and national 's world band receivers are at least the same quality or more. Thank your for your good explanation. i am a radio fun more than 55 y and electronics eng. I was making my radios in early 1970 bur never reached the same quality sony or grundig.

Hi im in Australia. Can this unit relieve radio station from Europe to Australia? I'm new to this type of radio? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 👍

Offcourse it will recieve station from All over the world. Bear in Mind the basics of the Shortwave propogation. The higher frequencies works better in the day time & lower frequency bands work better in the night. So after dusk try listen to 41, 49, 60, 75 meterbands & in the daytime 11, 13, 16, 19 work awsome. 25 & 31 meterband works better in afternoon till midnight. An external long wire anteena & ground connection to radio will open up a new horizon of listen distant stations. Though it is pitty most of SW radio station is shutting down with time and with internet revolution I guess and young generation are more intrested in streaming than tuning SW radio LoL. Just follow my above advise and you will love liwtening this radio. Well it is bit different than NAD 3020 in specifications and design both are very different from each other and both have their Pros & Cons. NAD 3020 is also cool. Many Thanks for supporting the channel & my hobby, much appriciated & best regards from The Netherlands.

Sir I have written to you earlier too. .I am from India and have a Sony ICF SW7006 radio abd is dead but I think after watching your last video I think its capacitors need replacement , I am unable to find any radio mechanic to help me and even Sony India is helpless. Can you help me please ?

[@spacetimeengineering]

Mukherjee Bhai shipping to the Netherlands will cost you a lot to send the radio and return shipping even more than the actual value of the radio. Therefore I advise you to look Engineer/Technician skilled with SMD components locally in your city or town. Many thanks for supporting the channel.

[@niladrimukherjee2098]

Bahut bahut dhanyavad . Unfortunately I cannot find anyone in my city or in India to fix my radio.

[@niladrimukherjee2098]

Thanks for your reply. My budget for getting this radio serviced is Rs.20K . Will this be enough to get this going I.e. sending it to the Netherlands , serviced , cost of new parts ,andcreturn to India ,?
