Sony ICF-7600D Review
My thoughts on the Sony ICF-7600D. Great radio. One of the most sensitive portable sets out there. Despite this being the first book-sized PLL radio with direct frequency entry, it is quitea complete product. There are no prominent bugs or design flaws.

Tecsun PL-990 Review
Переглядів 11 тис.Рік тому
My thoughts on the Tecsun PL990. Great radio. One of the best portable sets out there. Quality construction (except for the included battery) and awesome performance. Side note: the included earbuds are nice and not one of those dirtybuds.

    I have the similar ICF-2003, which is the same as the ICF-7600DS and basically a palate swap of this one. One really annoying negative for me is the lack of a dial light. I wish Sony had spent the extra few cents to at least add an LED or something. It makes this a pain to use in a dark room. Something I noticed is that the sensitivity increases dramatically when you use a wall outlet or external battery bank with these radios, Sony must've cut back on the power to savebatteries when it runs on AAs, so keep an eye out for one if you intend to use this radio.

    We had this radio in the house when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. It was a constant companion. I wonder what my parents ever did with it. I still listen to radio all the time and I’d love to have this one again.

    Good review. This was revolutionary for the early-mid 1980s. Crazy to think a whole generation has now grown up with excellent FM selectivity on most radios. 20+ years ago that was the exception. I find the tuning here to be a bit arduous. Not a fan of pressing AM or FM before pressing the frequency buttons. This was the first in a series that would ultimately culminate with the ICF SW7600GR.

    I'd buy it for 80. But it costs 300 new, which is too much. I guess they can't have economies of scale with radios anymore & the chinese are counting on thick wallets in the west. They could have made it bigger and put a decent speaker and a bigger ferrite antenna, or make a second model that is bigger. I'd like to see how the synchronous detection works on distant stations with fading. Like China Radio International. It can't really impve the snr if the signal is stable but low. Can you make SSB sound natural without a frequency shitt?

    I got mine new a year ago (amazon) for $230. Now is about $280. Great review. The MLA30+ is a low cost active loop antenna that compliments this radio. I brought mine to the Philippines. I average about 30 SW broadcasts a a night. Sometimes over 100. While in the States, I can listen to Texas or Wyoming MW stations at night (From Georgia) using the MLA30+. I have no complaints about this radio except the sync, as you covered. You must have gotten a bad battery. My battery lasts more than a month using the radio almost every night for about an hour. This is my best SW and MW radio.

    Nice radio but not sure I could handle the tuning, it's really odd that sony would remove the traditional tuning encoder ? I had the Tecsun PL-990x, what a disaster on SSB, distortion and filters do not sound right and the 4 Khz filter does not work, same issues on the PL-880 and S-8800, it too until the PL-330 and H501x to fix the filters but there's still some distortion and while the filters sound a lot better there is a lot of bass cut off. I use ECSS a lot and I simply can't do it on a DSP radio, it sounds bad compared to the analogue radios.

    • @nyesslee
      @nyesslee Рік тому

      I'm fine with having no encoders as long it doesn't mute while tuning lol. I also felt that the ssb is fine on the tecsuns but the sync detection on them is crap.

    • @o00scorpion00o
      @o00scorpion00o Рік тому

      @@nyesslee SSB on the tecsuns is really bad in my opinion, with that distortion especially on stronger signals, makes ECSS impossible most of the time. The filters only improved on the PL-330 and H501x and on the H501x there is a bug where you have to cycle through the filters using the AM/BW button because using fine tune makes the filters sound muffled. DSP and SSB just doesn't work in my opinion, they'd be better off just going with SDR.

  • @twohandsandaradio
    @twohandsandaradio Рік тому

    What a great deal! I wonder why radio manufacturers can't do sync detect well? Seems like the Sony ICF-2010 is the only one out there that does it well. I went with the H-501x over this. Reason, I could only afford one. I really wish I had got this. Seems to be a better build quality. My biggest pet peeve with the 501x is a wobbly tuning knob. That drives me insane. Anyway good luck with your channel! Excellent review.

    I'm pretty sure that the ICF-7600D was released about the same time as Sony released the ICF-2002 in the U.S. They're both identical since I had the ICF-2002.

    • @BokBarber
      @BokBarber Рік тому

      From what I've seen this is correct. The ICF-2003 also seems to be identical to the ICF-7600DS, and the 2002/7600D and 2003/7600DS sets are identical to each other except that the latter has a darker color scheme.

    You got a good deal! I can't afford nearly $300 for a radio, no matter how good it is. I have a couple of Tecsun's, but they are not nearly the radio the PL-990 is. I wanted stereo audio from a portable (which isn't easy to find!), so I bought the PL-398BT and also have a Tecsun PL-398 in silver. Good little radios - but terrible speakers. Everything - even Bluetooth - kinda sounds like AM radio audio. But they are both decent MW/Shortwave DX radios and I got each of them for between $30-$40.
