The R-530 is certainly a handsome receiver. FYI: the last time we posted one of these from eBay, the final price was $470 shipped, but this particular listing also includes the SC-530 matching speaker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, when an R-530 appeared on eBay, our resident\u00a0rare receiver guru, Dan Robinson<\/a>, chimed in with the following:<\/p>\n

Some observations on this. The R-530, and military version R-1530, were considered fairly top of the line when they were made. They\u2019re still among the rarer radios on the used market, though not the rarest. The R-1530 is not seen often.<\/p>\n

On performance, these receivers were not on the same level as National HRO-500s, 51Js, and R-390s. This was made by Hy-Gain after all, which was not top of the heap in receiving design.<\/p>\n

However, the R-530\/1530s are great looking pieces. Anyone considering these should make absolutely sure that the PLL circuit functions on all bands. Poor cosmetic condition is a tipoff that the radio had a hard life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are there any Post<\/em> readers own and use an R-530 of R-1530? Please comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
