Doesn't the DC in the model number mean "down conversion" or something like that?
Seems to me it did in the obsolete 468-DC GOES time receivers, which had to down convert to about 1.8 MHz. Also, the down conversion was more than a simple local oscillator and mixer. You had to have their antenna to make it work, as the mixer was in the base of the antenna.

I don't know how to tell the difference from part number, but I know the truetimes my employer uses all have the downconverter option and the option is very common.
