Default Portable purchase? ATS-909 / ATS-803A / YB400

Hi all,

DX-440 ... If that's the radio I think it is, I came close to buying
one of those at the time of the start of the Iraq war. I mean, the one
that started in January 1991. Radio Shack had put them on sale either
in Decembe 1990 or the following month for $99.95, something like
that. When the war started, the radios sold out instantly.

I have its replacement, the DX-392 (or DX-390, depending on whether it
has the built-in tape recorder or not). It's too big to be portable,
much larger than the DX-398, which I also have. RS discontinued its
own SWRs three years ago, I think.

Size alone should elminate the DX-440.. I wouldn't mind finding one at
a yard sale. They're not new anymore.
