U20577 Used Alinco DX-R8T All-Mode Communications Receiver 150kHz - 30 MHz

U20577 Used Alinco DX-R8T All-Mode Communications Receiver 150kHz - 30 MHz

This is a receiver only, It does not transmit

This pre-owned Alinco DX-R8T shortwave desktop communications receiver is in good overall cosmetic and functional condition, showing only minor handling scuffs on the side cabinet panels from normal shack placement. The large, dual-frequency liquid crystal display is clean and sharp, with full segment contrast and dual-color selectable backlighting. All front-panel pushbuttons, rotary potentiometers), and the main VFO tuning dial operate smoothly. Please note: The underside bail/riser support requires careful placement and balance when extended, as it tends to collapse or not stay locked firmly into place. The rear panel is clean and undamaged. It comes complete with its original Alinco factory packaging box, printed DX-R8T/E instruction manual, fold-out schematic diagram, and an Alinco EDC-37 DC power cable in its factory box.

The Alinco DX-R8T is a full-featured, solid-state desktop communications receiver engineered for shortwave listeners (SWL), utility monitors, and amateur radio operators, covering 150 kHz through 30.000 MHz continuously. Built on a dual-conversion superheterodyne receiver architecture with an integrated TCXO for 1 ppm frequency stability, it decodes AM, SSB (USB/LSB), CW, and FM broadcasts. For advanced digital listening, the receiver includes a dedicated rear 3.5mm I/Q signal output jack that connects directly to a PC sound card line input, transforming the radio into an SDR to decode DRM audio, digital utility signals, and PSK/RTTY modes using external software. Outfitted with dual VFOs, 600 alphanumeric memory channels, RF preamplifier and attenuator, electronic IF shift, RIT, noise blanker, and ceramic filters for selectable wide/narrow selectivity, the DX-R8T offers benchtop shortwave performance in a straightforward, accessible format.

Condition

• Cosmetic Condition: Good pre-owned condition overall. Shows minor, superficial scuffs and finish marks on the outer chassis sides from prior shelf and station placement.

• Tilt Bail Note: The fold-down front riser support does not lock securely into position and requires precise balancing to remain propped up.

• Display & Keypad: The high-contrast monochrome LCD screen illuminates cleanly with crisp text and S-meter graph readouts. All front silicone function keys and numeric keypad buttons press cleanly.

• Tuning & Controls: Main optical tuning knob rotates smoothly.

• Rear Hardware & Ports: SO-239 antenna connector, RCA antenna terminal, 3.5mm I/Q output, AF speaker jack, and DC power input are in clean, undamaged physical condition.

• Packaging & Documentation: Includes the original Alinco factory shipping carton, printed instruction manual, schematic, and boxed EDC-37 DC power harness.

Key Features

• General Coverage Reception: Continuous HF coverage from 150 kHz to 30.000 MHz across AM, USB, LSB, CW, and FM modes.

• Dual-Conversion Superheterodyne: High dynamic range frontend paired with a built-in TCXO delivering ±1 ppm frequency stability.

• SDR-Ready I/Q Signal Output: Rear 3.5mm stereo I/Q jack feeds raw baseband signals directly into PC sound cards for DRM decoding and software-defined radio processing.

• Interference Rejection: Features ceramic IF filtering with selectable wide/narrow bandwidths, variable IF Shift, RF attenuator, RF pre-amp, and an effective noise blanker.

• 600 Memory Channels: 3 banks of 200 memory channels with alphanumeric tagging, priority watch, and multiple scan options.

• Large Dual-Mode Backlit LCD: Clear digital frequency readout with user-selectable amber or green backlighting.

• Dual Antenna Inputs: Standard rear SO-239 connector for 50Ω coaxial lines and an RCA terminal for high-impedance long-wire or whip antennas.
