This sale is for a Kenwood RZ-1 wideband receiver. Cosmetically the receiver is used and you will see some minor marks from age and operation as is common with this receiver. Many of these RZ-1’s were installed in vehicles and so some of these marks occurred during installation. Please view our pictures at the top of the listing for specific cosmetic detail.Operationally the receiver has been tested and we verified that this unit works beautifully with no issues or shortcomings. The front panel controls worked properly and all the number buttons registered the frequency correctly without need to press hard or without key bounce.During testing, we noted that the receiver had excellent sensitivity on the various bands. We live in a rural area and were able to get some reception on the public service bands, but did not listen long and just verified reception on a couple of the bands and that the sensitivity was genuine. We also tuned and received 4 of the NOAA weather channels in the 162 MHz band. Reception was clear and strong with what we tuned and received. We are selling this receiver as a good all around performer and useful in the home as well as the automobile. In fact, the internal speaker allows for easy dual operation and there are two antenna inputs…. a standard SO-239 to accept a PL-259 input and a Motorola input that is typical for installations in a vehicle. In the home you would need an antenna to feed into the SO-239 connector. In the vehicle, you would most likely use the Motorola antenna input.The RZ-1 comes in the original box and is supplied with:original user manualcopy of the service manualWRTH receiver review 1989Kenwood Catalog page 1991Kenwood Catalog page 1992Com-West Radio catalog ad 1989Kenwood RZ-1 sales flyerCD containing these documents including the service manual. The CD is not for sale and is given to the new owner of the RZ-1This is a most unusual Kenwood receiver manufactured in Japan about 30 years ago from 1988 – 1992 and retailed for $849 in 1989 ($2,200 when factoring inflation in 2024). It is unusual because most Kenwood products are oriented toward the amateur radio or shortwave radio hobby markets. However, this radio extends beyond those bands and also includes the AM and FM broadcast bands plus shortwave and all the public service bands found in VHF and UHF. In fact, this receiver predates the law making it illegal to produce open frequency receivers and so it offers unblocked continuous coverage. So if you have a desire to hear those out-of-reach bands, this receiver has the ability to let you listen to them. Over the years, we have sold hundreds of receivers on Ebay, but many fewer of the RZ-1’s pass through our hands.The other thing that makes this receiver a bit more unique is that it was designed for mobile use and operates off of 12 volts DC and has a Motorola antenna input for a standardized auto antenna plug. Therefore, you can connect the line directly to your auto wiring and auto antenna and actually replace your stock AM/FM radio (or supplement it) with one that allows for much more extensive coverage. The radio is small and is designed to fit within the dashboard or if used with a bracket (not included), can be mounted under the dash. This unit is unlike today’s car radios that are manufactured out of mostly plastic. The RZ-1’s outer shell is metal and the unit has a bit of heft announcing its wonderful manufacture contrasting to today’s car radios that are mostly comprised of plastic. If you would like to use this unit at home, you will require a small DC power supply. Kenwood has designed this unit to be versatile both directions…automobile or home…and includes antenna inputs on the back for the mobile Motorola input (vehicle) or the stationary SO-239 input (home). If you use this unit at home, you will need a proper antenna to assure the best reception. You can use a small telescopic antenna, but this will greatly reduce the variety of stations that the receiver is capable of hearing. Typically a discone antenna is a good choice since it offers wide band receiving capabilities.When the unit is first powered on, all of the lights come on and you can see the Kenwood name and many of the features in the display.There are several operating modes, scanning capabilities, memory channels, tuning steps, and more. Frankly, we tested this unit for a couple of hours listening on the various bands, but did not scratch the surface of all the capabilities such as saving frequencies to memory, scanning, TV monitoring, etc. Here is a list of some of the features of this unusual receiver:Receiving modes of AM / FMn / FMw / C3F(TV)Coverage from 500 KHz to 905 MHz100 MemoriesInternal speakerSweepMemory scan (manual, timer, or carrier operated)Alpha memoriesSelectivity of 250 KHz (wide FM) / 10 / 7Illuminated keysAttenuatorExternal speaker jack (can also connect to an automobile’s sound system)Stereo FMLine out (stereo) RCA jacks (to connect to a home stereo or amplified speaker)SquelchDouble conversion in FM-W modeTuning steps of 5 / 12.5 / 20 / 25 KHzVideo output Vp-PIn his fabulous book, Shortwave Receivers Past and Present, the author, Fred Osterman comments that this radio is scarce. He also mentions that as with all wideband receivers, reception on shortwave is not exceptional, but sufficient to receive the major broadcasters while on the road. This meets our testing as well and is to be expected. You really don’t travel down the highway and expect to DX weak signals, you just want to hear alternative news on the shortwave bands that you may not hear otherwise. We have a mobile receiver in our vehicle and regularly tune to Radio Romania, RHC, Radio New Zealand, The BBC, various programs on WWCR, Voice of Turkey, and All India Radio to name a few.In addition to the international broadcasters, you will also be treated to some unusual domestic broadcasts. Often referred to as called Patriot or alternative broadcasters, such shows include broadcasts from The Hal Turner Show, Common Sense Coalition, and TruNews. This information deals with subjects as politics and the Washington excesses, mainstream media propaganda, health issues, GMO food, economic issues, etc. We regularly hear news that is not on the regular mainstream networks due to the risk of loss of advertising revenue (like issues with Dow chemical, Monsanto, genetically modified foods, vaccines, etc).The nice thing about this radio is that it also allows the user to hear other analog transmissions such as fire, police, CB radio, air traffic, NOAA weather, etc, etc. All of this additional reception allows for more listening opportunities or even the ability to tune in and hear emergency broadcasts. Imagine driving down the highway and you come to a standstill of traffic, you could tune to the CB channels to listen in on the truckers discussing what the situation is ahead or perhaps tune into any public service broadcast to hear chatter from the fire or police. Of course you would need to know these frequencies, but the CB channels are well known and the other frequencies are often found easily on the internet.The RZ-1 will be well packed for good protection of the unit during transit to your address.
