Hello all. I'm new to the SWL hobbie and to news groups so bear with
me. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a Radio Shack
DX-160. I just got one off of ebay for $60. My question, is it
better than my Grundig S350 ? I've been listening to SSB on the S350
with a Grundig FR-200 as the bfo. Just wondering if the DX-160 will
be a big improvement or a waist of time.

I fear that wasn't a particularly good deal when you're mainly looking
for improved reception. The S-350 is by far no DX rig (someone said the
innards reminded him of '70s portables; at least the narrow filter is a
CFU type), but the DX-160 never was either. As far as I'm aware it was
an entry-level rig for a number of people on your side of the pond back
in the 70s (and thus qualifies for some good memories, but that's about
it). You'd better picked up, say, a Sony ICF-7600D(S)/2002/2003, Grundig
YB400 or invested a bit more ($80) into a new DE1103.
