RE: [HCDX] Question about Minidisc recorders

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Max,

I remember years ago hearing similar noise to what you described on another
DXer's MZ-R3 (R2?) Sony recorder. This is quite an "ancient" minidisc
recorder; I had presumed that these problems were gone from the newer
recorders. (Evidently not!)

The four models I've owned have had zero interference problems on shortwave
or mediumwave... all provided excellent DX recordings:

Sony MZ-R4ST
Sony MZ-R50
Sharp MD-X5 (CD/MD changer)
Sharp MS-702

However, my recordings have all been made from tabletop receivers with metal
cases. Perhaps the unshielded plastic case of your ICF7600GR is the problem
:^(

Last year I bought a Sony  Minidisc recorder to record from my Sony
ICF7600GR receiver during travelling. I was very disappointed because of the
intereference produced by the MD recorder. Al recordings were spoilt by
buzzing noise about every minute or so and lasted several seconds.
I wonder if somebody knows which MD recorder works together with portable
receivers without producing interference.
(BTW : I contacted Sony here in The Netherlands and they knew about the
problem; I could return the MD recorder and they restituted my money).
