I am not sure why Lowbander DX-394's sell like hotcakes for $250 plus
shipping when for a few $$$ more they can get some real outstanding
receivers from other manufacturers. a used satellit 800 is $320 from
universal when they have them in stock and it is a much better receiver
with a warranty !

he includes some wire and a clip for an antenna and also a junk box
speaker but still ????????

what do people see ? are they that taken in by his BS writeup of how
his mods walk on water...he makes a big deal out some BB's in the
tuning knob !!!!!!

clue me in people,,,,,do I want one of these ????? is it better than an
R-8B ?????

You'd think people would realize--if it needs 11 mods, maybe something
sucks about it to start.

I was looking at one of those, until I saw the 1/5 rating on DXing.com

That review was written by a bunch of " I am better than you" HAM who put down everything that is NOT strictly got a HAM name on it. I have a DX 394 with "mods" And yes it is a great receiver. It outperforms higher priced SLW radios! Does it need mods to make it better "YES" but it is a great radio without them!
