Hello , For anyone bandscanning with an ultralight like the Sony M37V here is
my performance evaluation of this little receiver which went with me on my trip
to the old country which in my case is Holland where I had a chance to operate
it less than 20 KM from the two most powerfull AM stations in the country
running 400KW each and found that the two signals on 747 and 1008 Khz were
recevable all across the band until they bumped halfway between the two with a
handful of other minor breaks from weaker or more distant signals.Further away
from the two torches it behaved reasonably well,getting a couple of Germans
,Belgians and Brits from across the Sea.Several Dutch AMers have gone silent or
gone to FM,where in some locations it was plagued by multipathing of signals
since several stations broadcast from the same towers.Not a good little
receiver in large market cities or small countries with many stations.Back on
the westcoast,last night it managed
to snag a peaking signal in a location away from my constantly radio noisy
apartment from a station in Idaho on 1140 with oldies most likely sindicated
somewhere and ID'd locally as Idaho's Oldies 1140 K-GEM (?),a new one for me
and listenable over Calgary and Sacramento,until washout by the other two.Since
never heard before here,a possible lower power night timer still on day power?
Anyone know where in Idaho?The other Sony with the analog tuner now performs
much better after several tries of boosting the pickup by adjusting a couple of
tuner screws and realigning the dial pointer with an incoming signal on one
freq but not getting a match across the whole band but close enough to see
what's what and who's where.Can the digital Sony be boosted and if so ,how? Any
info is welcomed.Thanks.Bill in Vic BC
