General Description

The Palstar RA30 is a compact, high-performance,
general coverage receiver for the Long Wave, Medium
Wave, and Short Wave bands, with tuning from 100
kHz to 30MHz.
The R30A HF shortwave receiver is capable of receiv-
ing multimode signals and features high sensitivity and
high dynamic range to eliminate annoying intermodula-
tion distortion interference. Two world famous Collins
IF filters (2.5KHz ad 5.8KHz) provide unmatched selec-
tivity.
The radio also features 100 programmable memories,
variable rate tuning and switchable bandwidth in all
modes. A 10 AA cell internal battery pack automatically
connects to the radio when the AC adaptor plug is dis-
connected, allowing portable operation.
