Great Radio for the Value. I have always liked the DX302 and prefer it over many radios in current production. Its a fine reciever and has abilities that many radios today just dont measure up to. The Backup C batteries is another great feature. This radio is Triple Conversion and it shows in the Reception. The sound quality is excellent. Very Happy with mine.
A really very good radio, modeled after the Yaesu FRG-7. I've had both, and the FRG-7 is really nice, but it's also really expensive. This radio will do most everything that a swl would want, if you are interested in classic short wave listening. A caution, it is not the easiest radio to use, but the rewards are well worth the learning curve.
