[HCDX] Old Ultralight Sony SW-100 test
Ciao,
I tested, after many years I forgot it in a box, an old ultralight, the Sony
ICF-SW100 with my outdoor antenna T2FD 15 meters long. It is nice to observe
that it doesn't need on SW the preselector, as Tecsun PL-310 and Grundig G6
Aviator. Sony SW100 is a nice receiver with Synchro AM (upper and lower)and
good SSB too. I used the Drake R8 as control receiver.
On 40 meters ham band I could follow QSOs by a KP2 (Virgin Islands) old man
without problems.
It works well also on MW. On on this band it accept also the external
antenna! (Not PL-310 and G6). But on MW it is really better to use a
preselector. I used MFJ 1020C.
On LW, for NDB, it shows more sensitivity with its internal ferrite than
PL-310 and G6. And it works well thanks to its superior USB or LSB/CW.
