The 303 is one of my personal favorites. Like most of the radios that have been
discussed, it lacks a bit in the fidelity department, but it isn't bad
(certainly not as bad as a 51J-4 or that ilk). Although like anything else,
it's easy enough to tap the detector output and feed a decent audio system.
Still, it has the smooth and wrist saving tuning "feel" of the SP-600, no
stinkin' mechanical filters, and although you can't read the dial to +-200Hz,
it's close enough. IF opens up to 8 Khz, plays quite well on AM (and CW/SSB),
and is easy to service.

I had both the NC300 and the NC303. The 303 was my favorite of the two. It
seemed to have much better fidelity than the 300 but I only had the two of
them and no others to compare to so there may have been a problem with my
300 and I have neither of them any more.
