Measuring 4" x 7" x 6", the DR-30 packed all-transistor circuitry, a Collins mechanical filter, and sophisticated construction into a small package. The DR-30 was the brainchild of Everest McDade, W4DYW, and James Lovette, K4BXO. The double-conversion receiver tuned the 80-6 meter bands plus WWV in ten 500 kHz ranges. A pair of additional ranges covered optional user-selected frequencies. The DR-30S contained a 110/220 VAC power supply, a DC supply consisting of nine D-cell batteries, and a speaker. Advertising and reviews of Davco's receiver appeared sporadically in amateur periodicals between 1964 and 1967 as the company navigated turbulent business waters.
