Collaborative Receiver Design: The RX320 Saga
Hello Dolly
Sevierville Tennessee is famous for three things. One is TenTec. Two are country music legend Dolly Parton. TenTec is the only full-line manufacturer of ham radio equipment and short-wave receivers remaining in the United States. Like Dolly Parton, TenTec often pleasantly surprises us with capabilities that are not immediately obvious at first glance.
Rave Reviews
Back in December 1988, Alan Johnson reviewed the new TenTec RX-320 receiver in the NASWA Journal. Alan’s review introduced NASWA members to a first class radio. While it had no knobs or display, it sold at a price below that of some portable radios. If you have never read that review, I encourage you to go back and read it now. If you are new to NASWA, and you have Internet access, you can read the review on the NASWA web site. This page also has a link to an independent review for Radio Netherlands by NASWA member Tom Sundstrom. If that doesn’t do it for you, check out the year 2000 issue of Passport To World Band Radio for a review by NASWA member Chuck Rippel and Dave Zantow.
