Thanks for the feedback. I'm excited to try it out. I finally took
the plung and tried some hardware mods on my DX-394, and it works
great now. So I am thinking of trying to do some mods to the audio
portion of this radio. Just for kicks. I just have to figure out how
to do it. The DX-394 had a bunch of very detailed instructions for
mods on the net. The DX-200 seems like a much rarer radio, and not as
many people have messed with it. So I may have to experiment. But
being a electronic newbie...it will be a learning curve. At least I
have both the users manual with schematic, and the alignment and
mantaince manual. I'm hoping it is pretty roomy to work in.

My DX-160 is also modded (though not by me) and while I can't testify
to how it sounded before the mods....it sounds really nice with my
headphones now. So I do want to try something with the DX-200.

I often wondered if an audio filter, or equalizer would help if hooked
up to the radio. I wonder if you could adjust it to improve the bass
response.

Are you making fun of me?

Nope!

I have owned every Rat-Shack RX up to the DX-440 and having worked for
them, used every Grundig up to the Satellir 800 - all junk compared to
the DX-200, IMO.

The front-end overloads easily, so if you're getting lots of
images/splatter, turn the RF gain to somewhere between 9 and 10 o'clock
and you'll be OK :-)
