Just checked out Palstar site and scrolling down to bottom of Page,
there is a button to click on for the Owners Manual PDF which runs to
12 pages. Also the manual has a shortwave tutorial included, which is
especially helpful to Newbies (RHF take note, as you are keen on
helping Newbies !!) (And others, of course)...
Good listening to all...

Check out the Eham site for at least 5 reviews on the 30C which may be
a little different that your radio. Universal Radio has them for
around $650.

I bought one of the original ones when they first came out.I have the board
with the red solder mask vs the new units that have the green solder mask.
Even before I did the upgrades, the radio worked very well. Early on, the
input coil for the 455kHz I.F. strip was changed to a tunable one, to
compensate for variances in the resonating capacitor. Eventually, a higher
stability trimmer cap for the reference oscillator was used. As the Murata
CFR series of metal cased filters became unavailable, mechanical filters
were used for both I.F. bandwidths.
AGC action is very good........this radio can handle 1 volt of RF at the
antenna input before the unit goes into clipping. A UHF LO is used, and it
is divided down by 8, so that you get the advantage of fine tuning steps
along with fast settling time of the synthesizer.
Even though the LF preselector range switches over at 1MHz, the 1st mixer is
very good, so there is no evidence of 3rd order IMD products on the longwave
band. One of the best receivers ever made; mine is a keeper!

Palstar R30 Shortwave Receiver - Dreaming . . .
I have always thought that the one thing missing on
the Palstar R30 Shortwave Receiver's beautifully
simplistic "Basic-and-Functional" design was a
Computer Interface Plug* on the back of the Radio.
* Allowing the User to take-it to another Level -if-
they wanted to. Sort of like a Ten-Tec RX-320D
with a user friendly 'Manual' front-end.

i dream a lot -while- listening to the radio ~ RHF
