The both the 666 and R300 show up on Ebay periodically. To make room
for new acquisitions the R300 had to move on to other users.

I owned one for about a year and enjoyed it for what it was. If you
have never owned a band spread receiver with a crystal marker for dial
alignment, then you are in for what I would call both a treat and a
challenge. It is fun to learn something different, even if it is not
new.

The bandswitch can be problematic on those radios. Mine required
periodic cleaning and precise positioning to function on the lowest
shortwave band. A Kenwood technician told me that switch was a
potential source of problems and that there were no replacements.
Have fun, and be sure to post your impressions after you've played with
it a while.


Hi

Can you please explain how to work this crystal marker best and why it's so
special?

Thanks
Lucky
