i also have a dx-70t it is a fine radio and yes it will work over a wide range with a tunner. I do it with a dypole cut for 10, 17 and 20 of course it will not work as well as a well tuned antenna on all frequencys |

If you don't already have one, a great performing and inexpensive tuner is the LDG AT-11. Have fun! |

Where did you get a DX70T for $380? I would very much like to know unless it is a secret supplier. LOL!!! I have heard great things about that radio and other Alincos.
Thanx

i thought the same i payed 599 from radio shack a few years back the dx-70 is as good a radio as my ft-840 and comes with everything while the ft-840 you got to by the fm adaptor, cw filter and am filter. i own 2 10 meter one 6 meter and 2 meter fm alincos a small pile of handhelds for 2 and 440 and the dx-70 they make a great radio and also low priced.

I got my DX 70 off Ebay. Radio Shack has a Ebay store called Radio Shack Outlet. They have got a bunch left.They also had some hand helds but I think they are gone. 73 Ed. P.S. The stuff is all new . |

nice price great radio one thing to watch on all alinco's the heatsink is small no problem on ssb but FM or AM it will get warm on some radios they drilled the heat sink to fin a 12 v mini fan works like a champ cools it right down. |

Another tuner you can use it the MFJ945e. I use it with an Icom796 and sp3000 mobile, and it tunes from 6 - 20 meters. The A99 will tune no problem. 100 dollars.

The price has changed a bit since I got mine 2 years ago and they now have an AT-11MP out instead with a few more bells and wistles.
I doubt you will find a bad review on this product.
I have the older AT-11 and it will tune about any wire to anything under 6 meters. |
