My latest GW find, Sony ICF-7600d

I have had a 7600DS for years and love it. Great SW performer. And, yes...it works well on SSB. Quite stable, which is important. The fine tuning wheel works well when there's two stations close together, and does a good job getting an understandable SSB signal. One trick I've used to find the "center" of that control's range is to tune in WWV on 5 or 10 mHz (whatever works for you at a particular time of day), then switch on the BFO. Move the control to "zero-beat" the WWV signal so that the BFO tone essentially vanishes. You've now found the center of the control's range. Just switch back to the fine tuning position & enjoy.

Now...regarding tuning increments: Check inside the battery compartment (I THINK it's the compartment with the two AAs for the clock) and see if there's a tiny slide switch at the bottom. This switches the tuning increments from even to odd #s. Most BC stations outside N. America use 9kHz spacing instead of 10kHz.
