Got my DX-302 today - MAN! Is this a receiver!

They are nice but you have to drive them (spin lots of knobs) to get where
you are going. Don't know why so many people run them down, think they
either don't know how to drive them, got a lemon or have them confused
with
the DX300 which looked like a 302 but quite different. I used one for
quite
awhile with an AEA interface and an old Commodore computer to copy cw and
ritty and it did very well. RM~

Good hunting; I've been to several in this town; not a SW receiver in any so
far! I've also stopped in several pawn shops, same results . . .

Lisa,
I have been reading about your deal with the DX-302. If you like it,
then by all means get it and enjoy it! I am back again into old, and
I mean old, SW radios. Just picked up 2 Hallicrafters S-38's and am
restoring them, and trying to get an S-40. All of these radios are
tube"boatanchors" but I am no longer into "hunting DX" but rather
enjoy the warmth of the old-fashioned design and trying to snag
whatever I can on them. Enjoy your radio!

I used to have an S-40B that was quite the DX machine.

that's funny; I am also trying to get into the old tube radios. Turns out I
was destined to get into SWL; as a 2 month old baby, my parents were
building their own house in the hills of Vermont. It was in the middle of
one of those freaking cold snowy winters Vermont used to get. My Mother
used to listen to a tall, wooden, tube type SW receiver all the time. The
house caught fire & burned to below ground (I caught pneumonia according to
my Ma). She hasn't listened to SW since, mainly because she couldn't afford
another receiver, and of course she's not "into computers" now & has no idea
of things like ebay, etc. I just sent her up a portable receiver & a copy
of Monitoring Times. I am watching/bidding on a couple old wooden tube type
receivers on ebay in the hopes of "winning" one for not too much, getting it
fixed to back to working condition, & brining it up to her; sort of a trip
down memory lane/Mother's Day gift.
