What is misleading about the truth. The rig is junk. You don't say what you
are comparing to. I have mine side by side with a Yeasu FT-100d and I must
say that even without the AM filter the Yeasu's receiver beats the 394's
hands down. You may want to look up some of the less then good reviews in
most of the radio publications. Radio Shack had to give them away at less
then 1/2 the list price in the last year of its run.

all these issues are covered by easy fixes, if you don't want to do them
, then the DX-394 is NOT the radio for you. My 394 is selective (mod),
quiet (inherently), has no pops(mod) and is a very nice radio.

I would pay a lot lot more than $50 for one and buy a dozen at a time if
I could.


It is unfortunate that people like you spread so much misleading
information. It is the reason the 394 is SO misunderstood.

It

a primary. I wouldn't pay more then $50.00 for one.
