1) radios you have tested
2) comparative results of each radio vs the modified 394
3) overall conclusion to back up these bold statements

large and imposing but has no bite and is a but a great bluff !

If I wanted to take something to the park, I would put that $225.00 into

a

good portable. At that price point, a portable that will far outperform

the

394 can be had.

I am building a portable DX-394. if you are interested, there is still
time to customize it. the price is $225 plus shipping. it will work
off INTERNAL AA batteries or a wall wart. now you can take it to the
park !!

email me at . prepayment is required to weed
out game players.

MR. CW,

I haven't seen anything backing up your claims on the DX-394, this makes
the captain think you are a blowhard, blasting hot air out like the
massive whales of the sea. Don't let me think you were full of it when
you said you knew about the DX-394.

Where the captain is from, the show of the sword has to be backed by a
duel if the bluff was called.

CW,, show the captain your sword !!!

Given the tone of your posts, and the amount of work required to answer your questions, he's probably ignoring you.

But here's a link to a web site with information about the DX-394. They rate radios for "value" - Their rating system gives radios 1-5 stars. The DX-394 got 1 star.

Here is a page with an explanation of their value rating system:

You'll note one star is considered "Poor".

That's an unusually low rating with no negative comments or explanation to
support it. I would consider the ARRL Lab review in QST and the Radio
Netherlands review to be more comprehensive and professional.

QST Oct/97 - no rating system - "touts lots of features, especially
considering its price class"; "ultra-simple to use"; "Among the best
features of the DX-394 is its memory system"; "able to locate and copy some
of the amateur SSB stations that had shoehorned their way among the BC
behemoths"; "a decent job of receiving AM signals".

4 stars of 5 - http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/dx394.html

The following are averages of ratings submitted by a number of people:

5 stars of 5
http://www.consumerdemocracy.com/sho...ry= Ham+Radio

4.2/5 - http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2108

3.5/5 - http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1188
In this lowest average, there is one reviewer who gives it a 0! The majority
give it 4 of 5, the same as Radio Netherlands. That I think is a realistic
(not 'Realistic') value rating for the DX-394.
