I've owned a number of receivers with LW bands, but this is the only one I've ever been able to pick up anything below the broadcast band with. You turn the main turning knob a fraction to one side or the other and the station is gone. With most older single conversion receivers you can hear a strong station even when you move the main tuning dial a fair amount. Before I figured that out, I was just tuning over the stations. In fact, I thought it was a dog as a receiver until I realized I needed to make more use of the bandspread tuning. There is no comparison in their performance (even thought the Heathkit is well constructed ).
Until I got the DX-160 I had my Heathkit SW-717 on the bench. I can't imagine the shack without one of these types of radio in it. It's big (14.5" wide, 6" tall, and 9" deep-and add another 3" for the external speaker), solid (weighing in at about 15 pounds), seven knobs, four switches, and a pleasant glowing face. And-well, what else can I say-it just looks like a radio is supposed to look. The external speaker gives good quality audio. It has reasonably good selectivity and you have to be careful to tune it slowly or you'll miss the station you're looking for. My impressions? This is as solid a radio as I could ask for given its age and simplicity of design. Since then I've grown to appreciate the rig even more.

Twenty plus years later (April 2000) I finally picked up a used DX-160 'just for grins'. By the time I had some money saved I already had my eyes on the latest and greatest-the DX-300. I can remember looking in the Radio Shack catalog and wishing I could afford the DX-160. Shortwave receivers continued to evolve with digital readouts, dual conversion, and other features and the DX-160 was discontinued in 1980.ĭuring the 1970s, these radios made their way into a fair number of CBer's shacks. For a little nostalgia, check out GRE's DX-150/DX-160 history pages. This family of radios was made for Radio Shack by General Research of Electronics, Inc. In 1975 the DX-160 was introduced with the most noticeable change being the addition of a LW band (150-400 kHz). Over the next few years, this line underwent several improvements (the DX-150A and DX-150B). In 1967, Radio Shack introduced the DX-150 general coverage (535 kHz to 30 MHz) receiver.
