Looking for a review of this radio or comments from those who are familiar
with it.. Does anyone know of a source of more information on it? When was
it produced? What did it sell for?

================================================== =========================

I had one of these back in the early 80s . It was a very decent little radio.
I used it when I traveled. Its performance was very good IMO. Go see
www.dxing.com/rx/cr2021.htm The Uniden at this review is the exact radio
as the dx 400 except the 400 had a decent analog s meter instead of a bar
graph on the 2021, except for that, its the same radio. RS originally sold the
400s for 279-289$ range. If you can get one for a good price in good order
Id get it. It didnt have dedicated USB or LSB control, to get either one you
had to use the bfo knob, but that worked fairly well. It had an antenna trimmer
control that worked very well to tune signals. Also a 3 position rf gain sw.
Biggest drawback,, no vfo control, just keypad entry or push button up-
down control.

It (they) were also one of the few triple conversion portables ever
made. I bought a new Uniden-2021 in 1984 for $99.00 from EEB (now
defunct). The '2021' and DX-400 were loosely based on the original
Sony-2001, which was the first fully synthesized portable with keypad
entry.
