Hi:

Recently got an ICF-SW7600GR. Wanted to be able to listen to HAM
stuff, but no luck so far. I am in downtown Toronto if that makes a
difference. I have tried scanning on SSB - USB, but I don't seem to
be able to find anything - whenever I think I've found something, it
ends up being a regular station (I switch back to regular mode and
it's there it is another normal station.) I have been able to get
some morse code like sounds but that's not what I am looking for...

Any tips, ideas, or frequencies to try in the Toronto area. I am just
getting frustrated with the whole thing and was thinking about just
taking the radio back today...

Try tuning in USB mode between 14.000 and 14.350 during the day. Should
get CW at the lower end and SSB farther up.
