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~







I had a 302 as well, and it wasn't a bad performer, once it was
correctly aligned. And some of the home brew mods were removed. I've
encountered a number of 302's and nearly all of them were out of
alignment. Not that the 302 was a Drake equivalent, mind you, but it was
not as godawful as the 300 that preceeded it.

It's a decent entry level radio, these days. And can usually be found
at a price worth its value.
