Howard--

Thanks for the info--I'll do some reading up on both the of those
options.

One thing is puzzling me, though: the DX-160 has no coax input--only
"screw-type" terminals. So I'm guessing that some other adapter is
needed in addition to the transformer?

Thanks for the help...!

I don't think the DX-160 is a 50-ohm input so the 9:1 transformer might
not give you the same advantage as it would on a set that does have 50 ohms.
I'd vote for a good preselector. It will improve the overload and image
characteristics of the set.

Good luck,
Bill
