Hi Butch.
I can picture the receiver in my mind's eye. I think that Radio Shack had
a similar receiver which they called the Realistic DX-200. I won't go so
far as to say it was the same receiver because I don't know whether it was
or wasn't, but it certainly was based on the same design philosophy.
Unfortunately, in the 23 years I have been in Amateur Radio, and the 28
years I've been a SWL, I have seen exactly one of these receivers in a used
equipment show room. So, I think you could have quite a hunt for this one.
These receivers were being made about the time I was graduating from high
school and going off to college, so for the most part the price tags were
out of reach. I hocked for the Kenwood R-1000, and got quite a lecture
about irresponsible spending from my father!
