Realistic DX 200 Test

Second part of our look at the DX200. Here we see if it works and take a look inside the case.

I used to have the Trio 9R-59D and I gently stroked a candle on the tuning cords... worked wonders!

Great little receiver. Mod number uno: get a good ground point. That wil sort out a lot of HF interference. I have made a three wire cord and plugged in my shack (filtered) powersource and that was a hughe upgrade. Second: I was listening to a SSB station on 15 MHz and discovered that in the CS/SSB mode and the bfo pitch centered, when you switch on the calibration(!!) the conversation come in much LOUDER and much better to follow. That was new for me. lol This is the biggest mod for this nice receiver: change R102 (56Ohm) for a 5kOhm resistance with a neon bulb parallel. That wil give you a much better signal in all bands.
