DX-398 Memory Question
 

I haven't had a 398 in years. Had one shortly after they came out. I wiped
the memory clean and programed it with what I wanted.

Thanks for the reply. My manual does, as does the one I found online.

IOW, the SW band memories are completely reprogrammable, despite the
manual? All I have to do is erase the memory and substitute my own
selected freq.? (I've noticed, however, that if a particular
frequency is already stored, you can't duplicate it on another
page...)

I though the DX-398's stock-internal SW memories could not be erased
or changed. Somehow, I've accidently managed to erase/change a bunch
of the stock memories in my unit.

And how do I correct this? Removing the batteries and/or using the
reset switch do not reset the memories.

Thanks!

Yes, you can. Go to the page you want it to be on, press meter band that you
will use and dial in the frequency then press the memory button. Or you can
type in a frequency and dial up to the one you plan to store.

The ATS-909/DX-398 come with US presets already programmed when sold
in the US The rest of the world it comes with a different set of
preprogrammed stations, you can set the worldwide stations without
reentering ech frequency manually.
Itereses anything in your radios memory even your clock sp everything
must be reprogrammed. Theres a DX-398 FAQ onlin3 that tells you how to
do this. You dont need to rake the radio apart just press certain
buttons. Do a gogle searth fo DX398 FAQ and it will be listed there
hope this helps

Maybe you did not wait long enough.

I had changed all of the memories in mine but last week somehow the
batteries managed to get shook up on a flight and disconnected. When I
pushed them back into place and turned it on I was back to all the
original stock memories. Now I am faced with reprogramming the whole
thing - a real pain.

Never heard of that one before.
