Hailing from Germany, the KWZ-30 communications receiver was one of the first DSP receivers available. This collectable and high performance receiver is rarely seen for sale, but one is now available for a $1890.00 Buy-It-Now price from a Russian Ebay seller. Even with the few dings visible on the radio’s case, it’s likely worth the asking price to a collector.
The extensive Fenu-Radio web site has a nice capsule review of the KWZ-30, including some excellent photos.
At the $1890.00 price of this KWZ-30, you could buy a dozen SDRPlay receivers, or roughly a couple of the highly rated Perseus SDRs. Assuming available funds, is the KWZ-30 a receiver you would add to your radio shack? If so, why… or why not?

Thanks for posting. I like seeing these rare, unique radios as many are unknown to me. That Fenu site also is new to me and it is always great to see radio reviews by different individuals. Information is power.
This is actually the second of these receivers to be seen in the past year.
