Have you ever wired a 12 volt plug for this unit? I have the plug/and socket on the back but do not know how to wire it.

I used to own the DX-160 - I kind of miss it even though it's very old school as far as receivers go.

The DX-160 is a great radio. One the best features is the antenna trim control. The worst feature is the audio quality..

I wonder of anyone has tried replacing the ceramic filters with capacitive type and improving the audio for broadcast listening.....
