I recently had my ATS-909 modded at RadioLabs. One of the many things they
do in their "Super" mod is to put an RCA jack on the BACK of the radio for
the SW/FM antenna. Excellent solution!

That sure would be, but right now that's not an alternative unfortunately,
but I will. First on my list is the DX394 modded out by Mike, then the 398
done by RadioLabs.

I've heard nothing but great things about their mods on that piece. BTW, I'm
a member of the yahoo group, but it was just easier to post here.

Eh, no first is my 129X getting fixed, that's my baby. :-D
