Description from the seller
Up for auction is a genuine piece of radio-listening history: the National Panasonic DR 28 world receiver (also known on the American market as Panasonic RF-2800).
Produced in Japan between 1978 and 1979, this iconic dual-conversion receiver is renowned among DXing enthusiasts for its exceptional sensitivity and the unmistakable blue/green fluorescent digital display for frequency counting.
The rugged military-style chassis, enriched by the iconic front handles, makes it a perfect display piece for vintage electronics and retro aficionados.
Key Technical Specifications:
Bands: FM, LW (Long Wave), MW (Medium Wave) and no less than 3 Shortwave bands (SW1-3 Shortwave) covering from 3.2 to 30 MHz.
Technology: Double Conversion Superheterodyne for excellent selectivity and signal stability.
Display: Analog tuning indicator paired with the digital display for the shortwave bands.
Audio Controls: Independent Bass and Treble adjustment, RF Gain control, and Pitch/BFO for Morse code or SSB transmissions.
Power: Operates on AC power (AC 110-240V on the rear) or on batteries (6 D-type 1.5V cells).
Condition of the item: The radio has been tested and is presented in excellent working condition. The digital display is bright and responsive, tuning is smooth across all bands. Aesthetically it is very well preserved, as visible in the detailed photos (the telescopic antenna is straight and intact). Very slight natural signs of wear typical for vintage items.
Shipping Details: The item will be packed with maximum protective care using bubble wrap and a reinforced box to ensure safe transport. Tracked and insured shipping via express courier throughout Europe.
