I picked up a new Radioshack DX-399 over the weekend. These are on clearance, marked down to $39.97 from $150. Overall I've been very pleased with it, and quite surprised at this little radio's performance, considering its cheap price. It's small and light, comes with a carrying pouch, and includes an AC adapter. For under $40 you are getting a dual conversion radio with 1 kHz tuning from 153 Khz - 29.999 Mhz. This is the same radio as the Sangean ATS-606, and seems like the perfect travel companion. For the price, I don't think it can be beat. Radioshack part number is 20-229. For better performance just hook up a 20 feet wire to its external antenna connection (Radioshack 278-1374 is a good choice).Ali.

Givn the age of this post, I will be pleasantly surprised for a reply. I have the RS DX-399 but the speaker is most likely blown out (very scratchy... sounds good thru earphones). Anyone have any idea how to get to the speaker? Thanks.
