Hello, I am looking for another radio similar, or equivilent to the
DX-398
what I want in it is great AM/LW reception, great shortwave radio
reception
and much better than the 398 portable. Also I am looking for
excellent FM
reception that has great selectivity, sensitivity and image rejection
also.


Sangean ATS-909 is the same radio as the DX-398.


Can anybody give me some suggestions and experience with that
recommended
receiver, also what did you receive on the receivers you recommend
for to
check out. Thanks

I do perfer Grundig, Sangean, and ICOM, Drake
Radio Shack is not for the shortwave listener due to their poor
construction
of radio equipment and service , but still a great source to budget
minded and beginning shortwave listeners and intermediate shortwave
listeners.


Oh? Considering that Radio Shack *did* sell Sangean radios
(DX-398 et al), and now sells Grundig, and you say you like
both, I don't understand your statement about poor construction
of Radio Shack receivers.

Of course Icom and Drake (and Kenwood and others) are in a class
well above Sangean and Grundig.
