DX-120
Ala Cuhulin, I picked up a Realistic DX-120 at a yard sale today for $5.00.
Anyone got any experience with these, or can point me at some related links? |

You've been cleaning up lately at those things. First that scanner and now this. Only if you were lucky was yours as clean as this one: http://www.signalharbor.com/dx120.html Those are old. How does it work? |

Not quite that clean. The only testing I've done so far it so plug it in to
make sure it lights up; I'll hook up a speaker & antenna to it this weekend & give it a run. Probably end up selling it on ebay, as I can't stand receivers with bandpass tuning!

Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else, but didn't you pick up a DX150 not too long ago? Use it for a day and become frustrated because it used bandspread tuning? |

Actually, it was a DX-160, and yes, I wound up selling it to Universal Radio
because I can't stand bandpass tuning, so I plan on selling this too after I check it to make sure it actually receives . . . "John S." wrote in message ups.com...

Neither of which are illogical or frustrating! So I'm really curious to hear Lisa Simpson's explanation. Mike |

Mike I can't speak for Lisa Simpson however I suspect that Lisa got into radio by first using a radio that has PLL/digital tuning and it has to do with being able to easily discern what frequency you are tuned to. Anyone remember making cheat sheets what it says on the dial vs what the frequency is, letting a receiver warm up then using a cyrstal calibrator to get the initial set point for the bandspread?? |

Of course, very few receivers of 30 years ago and before had bandpass tuning either. Michael |
