Years ago I have a DX160 or DX150 (I can't remember which) and used it with my MX7000 to decode various forms of RTTY and other data, it worked very well on it and seemed very stable once it was warm. It drifted pretty bad until it had been on an hour or so which I thought was pretty odd for a solid state receiver.
Eventually it went bad and I found a used Panasonic RF4900 which worked even better for data reception at twice the size.
Back in the 1980's there used to be a hole-in-the-wall TV repair shop on the north side of Chicago that had a "shortwave wall" of various HF receivers. He had a large selection of DX150/160's and Panasonic RF-xxxx receivers along with a few other brands of the day. The guy who ran the shop was a total nut, never sober but at least he was obnoxious. I bought several of these radios from him over the years but they usually required a deep cleaning and always had a bad musty smell, like his shop.
As for the OP's shack: Nicely done! So many times these days (myself included) radio shacks are dominated more by the computer than the radio, I like that you have your priorities straight!
