I just bought a DX-400 at a garage sale for 5 bucks. It works great, except
that the LCD display is a little cloudy and the carrying handle is broken.
It has 300-Ohm antenna terminals in the back, an S meter, antenna trimmer,
keypad, 3-position RF gain control and many other sophisticated features.
Does anyone know anything about this radio? Is this a Sangean radio or one
made especially for Radio Shack?

I bought one of those back in 1985, the original from Tandy in UK
Its same as the Uniden 2021 i think and the Sangean440, number unsure.
I think they were made for RS

You have a great bargain there, there are quite a sensitive receiver, i used
for many years for MW DX from the Uk and logged dozens of US/Canadian MW
stations

Other than re arranged knobs and an analog S meter it is identical to the
Uniden CR2012
The DX 440 was made by Sangean for RS and was only missing the DIN for
recording that the Sangean ATS803A had.

It was made by Uniden. Same as their CR-2021. It was one of the best
portables of the 80's. It has a triple conversion design. It was based
(loosely) on the Sony-2001 (not the 2001-D) which was the first fully
digital shortwave portable.
Is the LCD display on your DX-400 "cloudy" because the clear plastic
window has a lot of scratches or is there a problem with the display
itself?

The "cloudiness" appears to be within the display itself. Sort of like
streaks of pigmentation. The frequencies can be read, fortunately. Wow!
Triple conversion - this is incredible. Now I'm really fascinated with this
radio.
Thanks for the info - - -
