    Description

    This is an auction for a Realistic DX-160. This radio did not need a capacitor replacement. it’s been aligned to the best of its ability for its age. All RF trimmers have been adjusted. The body has been cleaned up from rust and years of use. All the pots have been cleaned and are free of scratchy noises. All the dials have been cleaned and shine like new. Speaker operates as expected. S-Meter works. Band spread works. Main tuning works. All switches and knobs work. Lamps work. All lamps have been changed out with white LEDs. Weak solder joints have been reflowed with fresh solder to maximize signal strength.
    This radio LOVES a good antenna set up. A long wire or dipole set up works great! I’m running a long wire set up in my trees and it’s roaring with signals.
    LW picks up CW beacons
    AM works great!
    SW works great!
    BFO/SSB seems to work great on all bands
    This radio is in great condition. Just minor signs of use over the years. See pics. You won’t find a DX-160 in this physical and working condition for less.
    If you want a video of it on and being used, let me know
    Message me with any questions. No returns. No refunds.
