Several weeks ago I swapped with DeWayne for his modified Super Radio
Shack DX 398. I now have this wonderful DX 398 up for sale. Listed
below are the mods that have been done to this radio. This radio is in
excellent condition. Comes in orginal box with manual and carrying
case. The mods shown below are taken from DeWayne's message when he
offered the radio for sale on these newsgroups.

This radio has several improvements
that have been implimented over a "stock radio". These are as follows: 1-an
additional broadband rf amplifier has been added internally to boost
reception with the telescopic antenna. This really helps boost weak signals.
2-Tuning mute and smooth knob tuning to eliminate the stepped tuning knob
action and chugging when bandscanning with tuning knob. This makes for much
better feel when tuning than on a stock radio. 3-The audio has been improved
to get rid of the tinny sound normally found in a stock radio. It has good
volume and punch. This one is easy to listen to for extended time. 4-The
stock radio has a very weak green led backlight system for the LCD display.
It makes it hard to read in dim light. The dim green leds have been change
to brighter blue leds. This makes it much easier to see in dim light. Also
note that when using an AC adaptor the light can be selected to stay on all
the time. 5-The stock radio has a very slow AGC, this has been corrected to
a fast AGC time which makes station reception on worldband much better.
These modifications make an already good radio much better.
