New radio gloat!
"m II" wrote in message news:5IU5g.5294$a7.5015@edtnps90... It must be a coincidence. There was a Realistic dx-160 thread a while ago. Today I visited a local second hand store and picked up the same radio. It's in good shape, with factory external speaker and manual. Price? Seventy dollars Canadian. I was happy and the seller was MORE than happy. It was a good deal all around and now my first 160 has a twin buddy to keep it company. Life is good. mike I always enjoyed tuning a DX-160. They were really nice receivers. Congrats! |

Although the DX-394 has it's shortcomings it's still far ahead of the DX-160 in overall performance. The '160' is not a serious table-top by today's standards or even in it's day. It's more of a trip down memory lane now. Consider one of the discontinued table-tops by Kenwood or Drake. In your price range the Kenwood R600 or Drake SW2 would probably be good choices. I'd go for the SW2 which has a great sync' detector for program listening. |
