Hello all. I'm new to the SWL hobbie and to news groups so bear with
me. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a Radio Shack
DX-160. I just got one off of ebay for $60. My question, is it
better than my Grundig S350 ? I've been listening to SSB on the S350
with a Grundig FR-200 as the bfo. Just wondering if the DX-160 will
be a big improvement or a waist of time. Thanks for any reply.

Go to the archive for rec.radio.shortwave at groups.google.com and
search back for "DX-160". There was a good thread a few months
back on what's the best antenna to use with it. It should be
comparable to the S350, maybe with less images but prone to
overload if you put too much antenna on it. Probably a lot nicer
to tune, as it's got smoother acting knobs (as I remeber playing
with it in the store back when it was new).
