The Uniden-2021/Radio Shack DX-400 was the only triple conversion
*portable* receiver ever made, AFAIK.



I think the Barlow Wadley XCR-30 is too.

For $100, I bought an R-392 (Plus Lambda power supply) and a FRG-7 at
a fest. There often are receivers there at bargain prices. Because
of money concerns I recently had to pass up a mint-condition HRO for
$100. (I cried. A lot.) That one sold within the first 5 minutes of
the fest.
