but think how much more you/your friend would like a "fixed" DX394.


Hi Tom,

I agree with you 1,000%. And I too saw the 4 star Radio Netherlands review
of the original DX-394 prior to buying it. Between that review and what my
ham friend thought of it (he had one of the original ones), I bought it. But
he insisted I find a "B" model since they were the same discontinued price
here in Cananda. That receiver basically brought me back into SWL. I loved
it contrary to the frequent put down in this newsgroup of that receiver. I
added good external speakers and eventually a DSP-40 unit to it. Eventually
I graduated to a Sat-800. Now my best friend has it and he too loves it. It
serves his needs quite well.
To each his/her own.

Take Care
