I own an old Drake SSR1 from the 70's, that they had built in Japan, and it has a Wadley Loop tuner, that is Analog, with two dials, and I love it. It's sensitive, stable and accurate as can be. I also have an Old Kenwood R-300, with Twin Drum tuning that is a real peach and a great sensitive Dx-er, and still in excellent condition. So, I hope you enjoy many fine hours of great Dxing from you new prize. |

DX-302 Communications Receiver (200-0220) Features Faxback Doc. # 45535 ....It All Comes Alive on your Realistic DX-302 Communications Receiver The entire world is at your fingertips with the Realistic DX-302. English language broadcasts can be heard from such world capitals as London, Tokyo, Paris, Rome, Berlin and Moscow. Exotic music and unusual languages can be heard from stations located in distant, isolated sections of the world. You might listen in as the Coast Guard aids a vessel in distress, or perhaps eavesdrop as the skipper of a fishing boat radios back news of the day's catch. Airplanes, both civilian and military, use radio to keep in touch on intercontinental flights. Radio amateurs (commonly known as 'hams') can be heard chattering away around the clock with friends located in the next town or on the other side of the world. Your DX-302 is designed to tune a wide variety of signals from 10 kHz to 30 MHz. It receives AM (Amplitude Modulation), CW (Continuous Wave, better known as Morse code) and SSB (Single sideband) signals. It also has superb sensitivity and selectivity to dig out distant and low-powered stations. The synthesized drift-cancelling triple-conversion mixer system provides thirty tunable ranges from 10 kHz to 30 MHz, and is derived from a single 4 MHz quartz oscillator. This results in precise frequency control and superior frequency stability. A stable low frequency kHz Tuning circuit covers the 1 MHz increments and the 5-digit display shows the exact frequency. The DX-302 uses 39 transistors (10 of which are field-effect type), a Large-Scale Integration IC frequency counter, 3 integrated circuits, 32 diodes, 5 seven-segment LED displays and six LEDs. You can use the DX-302 at home (on 120 volts AC for USA/CANDADIAN models and 220/240 volts for EUROPEAN/AUSTRALIAN models or 12 VDC (8 "C" cells) or in your car or vehicle (12 Volts DC negative ground). Main features a * Quartz controlled frequency synthesizer * Continuous frequency coverage from 10 kHz to 30 MHz * Large digital frequency display * Triple conversion circuit * Six element and nine element ceramic filters provide outstanding selectivity (freedom from adjacent channel interference) * Dual MOS Field-effect transistor in the critical mixer stage (freedom from cross-modulation and undesirable RF distortion) * All silicon solid-state circuitry for maximum circuit efficiency with minimum noise * Audio power IC provides high intelligibility sound * AC or DC (negative ground) operation * If the AC power should fail, an automatic circuit switches over to the battery power with no interruption of sound The DX-302 uses a Wadley loop synthesized circuit for continuous frequency coverage. With this design, it is normal to find beat notes on such frequencies as 910 kHz and 1,000 MHz. Such beat notes indicate your DX-302 is working properly. The effects of such beat notes can be reduced simply by trying a different external antenna or readjusting the outer (MHz) tuning knob. (CC/wr-07/13/98) www.radioshack.com |

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. |

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. wrote in message news:qon2qBoLzSnd-pn2-p5bUdUiEB3if@localhost...

Another one, a C model, I just posted on one of these groups and a guy in St. Cloud, FL had one in all original condition for $80. They are easy restoration projects as they are so simple. They have beautiful design, they were designed by Raymond Lowey, who designed for Chrysler in the 30's and early 40's and did the famous postwar Studebaker, that changed how cars looked for generations.

I know that the Japanese copied Hallicrafters, but does it have the same design cabinet with the half-round dials? -- "What do you mean there's no movie?" |
