    Description

    Here is the solid-state
    Realistic DX-200 made in Japan in the early 1980's
    in exceptional condition.
    The 5 band coverage takes you from longwave though the AM broadcast band up to 30 MHz. There is not a scratch on the set. Main and band-spread scales are perfectly clear and free of any bends, cracks, or wear. All radio controls work, and with a suitable antenna and ground, the set does pull in the signals.
    My testing consisted of about 8' of wire as an antenna which was enough to hear
    local AM stations,
    strong WWV at 10 MHz, ham radio AM, SSB, and CW on 40 and 80 meters, and multiple english and spanish language broadcasts. My antenna was clearly way too minimal, suggested by the all-the-way-clockwise setting of the antenna trim control. The manual specifies a 50' long wire or similar antenna configuration and a good ground connection for actual use.
    As mentioned, antenna trim, BFO pitch, noise limiter, AGC, S-meter, 500 KHz. calibrator, and band switch with all band lights, and illuminated main and band-spread tuning - all work. Speaker sounds good. Volume and RF Gain controls work without scratching. Alignment when the band-spread is properly set is pretty close on most bands suggesting that an alignment is probably not required. Please examine all photos closely. I did not test with headphones, external speaker, or muting connection.
    I did note one issue. When tuning across the 13-30 MHz. band, reception dropped when main tuning was positioned below about 22 MHz. Positioning the main tuning above 22 MHz and tuning below 22 MHz using the band-spread worked fine. It is the only band showing this symptom.
    Included is the original box in remarkably fine condition with great graphics along with original packaging and printed copies of the DX-200 Owner and Service Manuals. Radio
    is from a smoke-free home.
    Those keen on listening in on the world will find that this DX-200 delivers.
    Don't let it slip away to that other guy...
    The radio measures about 14" W x 8" D x 6" H and weighs about 9 lbs. unpacked. It will be safely packed and quickly sent by FedEx Ground. I charge only the expected shipping cost with insurance. I'll refund an overcharge which was significantly higher than the actual shipping cost.
