Default DX-160

Well sheesh. If the 160 was half as sensitive as you are, it'd be one hell
of a radio
P.S. No thanks, I already have 3 and a DX-150...

ok, get off the "more sensitive" thing already everybody. I never said I
thought it would be more sensitive, I simply noted that it is not. The
sensitivity is NOT the issue! The issue is the bandspread tuning, it

sucks!
Especially in comparison to my other receivers, and, since I *do* have

other
receivers that do not have bandspread tuning, I see no need to fart with

one
that does. "Nuff said on that. NOW, is anyone interested in buying a
DX-160?

It is NO different to tune than any other analog radio with a bandspread
dial. Again, I don't know why you would have thought it would be MORE
sensitive than the 394 or 302 both of which are much more modern

designs.
Other than...You can't believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet...

Anyone interested in a DX-160? I am considering getting rid of it,

because
it doesn't seem to be anymore sensitive than my DX-394 & DX-302, plus

it
seems too weird to tune stuff in, and I don't really need the hassle
considering I have many other receivers to choose from . . .
