Desktop Receivers made in Japan (different Manufacturers)

Several Manufacturers producing equipment for the ham radio market started with the production of "multi band" or "world wide" receivers in the seventies. Quite often, these sets have a straightforward construction and some of them have been modified to improve their characteristics, so You might encounter them in the second hand market.

I present a few of these sets from smaller manufacturers in alphabetical order:

Bearcat DX-1000: double conversion, digital frequency display 1 kHz, 10 kHz - 30 MHz
Century-21: double conversion, linear analog dial 5 kHz, 0,5 - 30 MHz
Minix-MR73B: double conversion, analog dial with bandspread in Ham bands, 0,5 - 30 MHz, SSB
Standard C-6500 double conversion, linear analog dial 5 kHz, 0,5 - 30 MHz

In the eighties and nineties, some receivers with a contemporary technical design resembling the set constructed by LOWE appeared on the market:

Target HF-3: double conversion, digital frequency display 1 kHz, 30 kHz - 30 MHz
Target HF-4:(NASA HF-4) double conversion, digital frequency display 1 kHz, 0,5 - 30 MHz
