• The word is spreading about Palstar's unique, high-end amateur and shortwave radio products carrying on in the Palstar tradition for products of the highest quality. The American made R30 shortwave receiver is no exception. After surveying all the SWL receivers on the market, Palstar President and chief engineer Paul Hrivnak and his design team put their heads together to produce a SWL receiver that performs in a real world setting with no overloading in the front end.
• Combining their years of experience in designing and manufacturing amateur radio equipment they came up with a small, portable unit that performs like nothing you've heard. The R30 won't disappoint you, but don't take our word for it. Here's what an eHam.net reviewer had to say, "I think this [R30] is one of those not too well known jewels that is already a precious commodity to those who own one." High quality basics, Small footprint and Portability.
• The R30 HF shortwave receiver is a compact high performance radio capable of receiving multimode signals in the 100Khz to 30 Mhz spectrum. It provides excellent strong signal handling, high sensitivity and dynamic range to eliminate annoying intermodulation interference. The radio also features 100 programmable memories, variable rate tuning and switchable bandwidths in all modes.
• All this squeezed into a footprint that fits inside a sheet of paper (8"x9"x2.5"). The R30 receiver is also equipped with a 10 AA cell internal battery pack that automatically connects to the radio when the external adapter plug is disconnected allowing portable operation.
