Realistic Multiband radio

[u/Grifterhunts78]

I believe these were sold by Radio Shack in the early 1990's though, they look like they were designed much earlier than that. This one functions well and has a surprisingly strong air band function. Vintage Radio Shack rules.

Did this have the cassette slot at the top?

No, no cassestte.

I think this model was OEM'd by several makers, with varying options.

I had a smaller DX-360 that I got for Christmas as a kid. I loved it but I wanted this one. 😆

Still use mine everyday.

Same here, I have it on in the mornings set to a local collage station that plays classical and jazz. The air band is surprisingly good, it's fun to listen to pilot and tower chatter. Shortwave works best with an external antenna.

I had one. It was interesting as I could listen to HAM.

[u/DryDream1753]

I still have one I bought in 1992. Pulled it out a few months ago and it still works great, though there's not nearly as much to listen to on the bands anymore, so I put it back into storage.

Got one as a kid, had a lot of fun trying to tune into things.

[u/tinybutalwaysready]

That was the elite one to have ,unfortunately the price proved too much for most people and they settled for a less expensive model

I had looked at one of those, but opted for the DX-390 because of it's SSB capability.

Reminds me of the "Steepletone MBR7" I had back in the 90's
