Nice station! :) I cut my teeth in 1975 on an old dx-160 like that, then my dad gave his s-108 before he passed.

Nice stuff. I see you have wireless headphones. What do you use them on, and how do they work?
can you walh around the hole house and listen to the scanner for example?

Ah the Realistic DX-160!!

Man, how I lusted after one of those as a kid!
The brushed aluminum facia and colored dial markings still look great even in the digital age.

How does the Yaesu VR-5000 perform?
I have read many bad reviews about that model, which is a shame as it really looks like an excellent radio. The disappointment I felt with the FRG-9600's poor performance (totally different beast of course) seems to be the same with many users of the VR-5000 it would seem.

Very nice setup!

Regards, Commscanaus.

Yeah - what is it about those? I have a DX-150 and they just have a great look. Fairly drifty for awhile, but still fun to play with from time to time. I too wanted one of those desperately but was given a Hallicrafters S-129 instead.
