Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who notes:
This is the first NRD-301A seen on the used market in many years:
Thanks, Dan! I would love to add an NRD-301A to my radio shack, but those commercial-grade receivers are simply outside my comfort zone in terms of budget. That and I really don’t have the space for a rack-mounted rig like this. Oh but I do admire them!
Post readers: I’m curious if anyone besides Dan owns a 301A? How to do rate its performance?
As everyone will no doubt see, this has not sold yet as of this morning EDT. Based on rarity and condition of this unit, the price for this is actually not too unreasonable, though anything near $4K these days is high, considering for example that this is far above a ICOM 8600 and other receivers and transceivers. But those who purchase at this price point are getting a fine example of a truly rare radio.
oh my!
