IN looking at pictures for one of those Radio Shack receivers, it looks

made me wonder if we saw the same generic transistor receiver used by

various companies in different cabinets. If nothing else, both

receivers had the circuitry on one board, and the tuned circuits on

another, which can't be good for good design.





DX-160 was made by the late GRE, of Japan. OEM manufacturer for a

number of companies. So, your supposition is likely correct--You did see

the same radio in different packages.



DX-160 wasn't related to S-120A, however. Actually, DX-160 was a

better radio.

Isn't Alinco part of GRE ? Or maybe the other way around. They seem to have one HF receiver currently in production . It is DX-R8 .
