Marconi H2301 Receiver - a rebadged Eddystone 880/3 - one of the best valve receivers ever made -​

Apr 17, 2024

One of the best valve (tube) receivers ever made. Stability is excellent from cold as the set uses a massive PTO (Permeability Tuned Oscillator) like the Collins R390. There are 30 bands to select from. The operator sees 1Mhz over the entire scale. The set is badged Marconi but was actually made by Eddystone. Marconi owned Eddystone at this time.

Sources of SWL Information “Pre-Internet”​

by Dan Greenall

When I first discovered the world of shortwave listening, many years before the internet, access to hobby related information was mostly available through over-the-air DX programs, monthly DX club bulletins, as well as a number of books and electronics magazines. I joined a few clubs including the Midwest DX Club, SPEEDX, and the Ontario DX Association, and eagerly awaited each issue of Electronics Illustrated and Popular Electronics (early 1970’s) on the news stand. Later, in the 1980’s, Popular Communications and Monitoring Times came along, though these were not always easy to find here in Canada.

Ironically, nearly all issues of these magazines can be read today, over 30, 40 and even 50 years later, thanks to David Gleason’s not-for-profit, free online library
