I got out my old but little used DX-440 and can get nothing but FM
stations. Does anyone have any suggestion(s) as to what the problem/fix
might be.? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

In the DX440 / ATS803A I believe there is a Field Effect Transistor
that can be damaged by static electricity. From what I recall it is
labled Q1 and you replace it with an MPF102.

First check the internal connection to the antenna and make sure it is
not broken.
