I have been trying to listen to broadcast stations on my Sony
ICF-7600GR radio. I want to hear radio habana cuba, but I swear, the
sound will go in an out, low to where you can't hear it, then
blasting, then low again, it will not ever stay stable to the point
where I can sit there and just listen to it. I don't have any external
antenna yet, I can't put on on the roof or in an attic since I don't
own this house nor have any attic or basement. Do I just need a better
antenna or do I just have to live with the fading or whatever this is
called?


Hi Red,
This happens all the time, as the sun/moon move it will change and get
better.

Be sure the antenna is locked open.

You can run a long wire around the eves of your house and it will work
great.

Watch for sheet metal and window screens.

You may want to try off tuning just a little on both sides of the freq.

See if Cuba is on other freq.'s.

Good Luck,

Burr
