The Kenwood R-1000 is one of the best-known general-coverage receivers of its era, tuning continuously from 0.2 to 30 MHz. A double-conversion superhet with digital readout, it offered outstanding value in 1979 and became a favourite among shortwave listeners. Practical extras such as a built-in clock with timer, a noise blanker and a three-step attenuator round out the set.
