The seemingly un-ending stream of classic premium receivers continues at the Japan auction site known as “Buyee”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This ultra-rare Japan Radio Company NRD-302A<\/a> is expected to exceed the U.S. $5,000 mark. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As premium receiver collectors\/users know, the 302A is certainly among the top rarest of the JRC professional\/marine line. At the top of that line was the NRD-630, which was described by the company at the time it was being manufactured, as a “training” receiver. For some reason, though more of them were manufactured by JRC, the 302A is even more infrequently seen on the used market. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Listed as “typically unavailable” on Page 347 of the Osterman Receivers Past and Present guide, the 302A exceeds the previous 301A model in having ISB mode and a narrow 0.5 filter, with 1 Hertz tuning resolution. Previous other ultra-rare JRC sets on the Japan site included two NRD-95 receivers, both of which came in at over $5,000 U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n
