According to "Monitoring Times" Magazine, Electra is
introducing the DX-1000, a new synthesized, general coverage
receiver, manufactured overseas for Electra.
It covers 10 kHz through 30 mHz, with direct keyboard entry
plus knob tuning. The receiving modes are AM, FM, USB, LSB,
and CW. Ten (10) memory channels are provided, along with
selectable filters, 12/24 hour clock, multi-
frequency/multi-time automatic record control. Up/down
frequency step size is selectable in increments from 1 to 99
kHz (I guess one can't step in 100 or 10 Hz., pity).
The list price is about $600, and it sounds like a
competitor for the Kenwood R-2000.
I've sent for brochures on this new radio and other Bearcat
offerings.
