A brief look at the National Panasonic DR-Q63 (RF 6300) released in the early 1980's. A very rare radio, they were expensive in their day, so I was pleased to come by this one.
A simple but very large radioe, basic in operation but a fairly good performer, typical of the era. SSB is exceptionally stable and a pleasure to operate. It has 2 well chosen bandwidths giving good results. While not a DX'er, it offers pleasant listening and satisfactory performance.
Tuning is 2 speed and fairly clunky but you soon get used to it.
Supposedly one of the last of the "Command Series" Panasonics

Thanks for your comments, been a while since putting up a video, slackness really. I've been playing with the Sangean ATS-803A a bit lately, a nice radio! Cheers...... Phil

@@philireland1678 Yeah I can sympathise with that I've been a little stagnant on the uploads as well, don't be too hard on yourself sometimes inspiration can be elusive, glad to hear your running the ATS 803a through it's paces a nice (but quirky) radio 👍

Are you out to make my eyes bad :-) I couldn't see anything due to the radio being in the window!

Hey. How do you rate the sensitivity of this receiver to a telescopic antenna compared to Panasonic 65 and Sony 2010?

@philireland1678 4 жыл бұрын

It's quite good on it's telescopic antenna but the 2010 (2001D) is better as is the B65. It's typical of the Panasonics of that style. Cheers..... Phil
