A look at a rare shortwave radio

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
