Realistic DX-160

Post by NightProwler »

Just picked up a mint condition in the box DX-160 with matching speaker. Ive been using a Yaesu FRG7700 with the matching ATU for years but always wanted a DX-160. It's a pleasure to use and definetly a keeper :thumbup:

Good find. I remember these from when I first became licensed. So the mid 70's, as I got my license in 73.

I thiink this one is 75 which is the year I was born, Sure is old. It works like a dream and I don't think it's been used a lot. Anyway it will get recapped soon. Lovely radio though.
