Comments: Good single sideband reception for a radio in this price class. This
popular model provides great value. Also operates from 6 D and 2 AAs. Model ATS-803
was earlier (1985) and did not have Wide-Narrow Selectivity. Realistic DX-440 similar sans Record Output Jack and AC power supply. |

Comments: Operates from six AA cells. The ATS-808 is a sensitive receiver
with excellent FM and shortwave reception. It never gained wide popularity among DXers because of its lack of SSB reception. The Realistic DX-380 is similar. Model ATS-808A (new $130-$200) is later production with 54 memories. Still current production. |
