Hello there, I am sending you this e-mail from Germany. I have just bought a Sony Worldreceiver, ICF-SW100, for a very good price. What I did not know is that Sony manufactured two different types of this model, one for North America the other one for Europe (ICF-SW100 E). The strange thing I have noted when switching the radion on is the very loud noise that is coming out of the speaker when scanning the FM-band. I don`t receive any radio station on FM at all and on AM I am only catching a hand full of radio stations. Does this have to do with the different frequency steps in which both continents are operating, i.e. in Germany we have frequencies on the FM-band like 89,5 Mhz. I have another radio (Aiwa) which came with a switch. By using this switch I can change between European and American frequencies but on my Sony there is no such thing. My question now is, can anyone please tell me if there is a way for me to make my new (actually used) Sony operating on the FM-band in Europe, too. Maybe you know some specialist there. I appreciate any hints. Kind regards, Joerg Mengwasser ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Keine Chance f�r Viren!
