Probably a good receiver for someone entering the hobby.

You'll find out more than you will ever know about any other radio by
joining http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RADIOSHACKDX394/. Read the FAQ. Check
out the links to various reviews and documentation. I'm not biased ;-o - I
have 3 of them in various states of modification - getting one a couple of
years ago renewed my interest in ham radio, electronics, SW listening.

Good piece. Great receiver if you get it modded out and hooked to a properly
installed antenna. Tom Holden or Mike can help you there if I'm right.

I enjoy mine, would enjoymy other one more if I had the battery back installed
and painted black and had the mods done. Don't think you can't DX with it,
because you can.

if you get it, it MUST be properly modified to be a good receiver. the
bad reviews are for the unmodified 394 and they are valid. HOWEVER a
PROPERLY modified DX-394 is far superior to the stock version. the
properly modified 394 is a fun and usable radio.

also don't pay too much. a modified 394 is only worth about $200. for
the $250 that many people pay you can almost get a Satellit 800, the
best radio for the money on the market.

recently I have compared the 800 to a Kenwood R-5000, no contest, the
800 is far better. and yes, the 5000 has the upgraded AM filter

A Satellite 800 better than a Kenwood R-5000?

Hard to believe!

Hi,

I had one and loved it but it was a DX-394B model. Here's a review on it:
http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/dx394.html

I eventually put external speakers on it which made a lot of difference. It
was my 1st "serious" SW receiver. My best friend now has it and he loves it.
Since then I've acquired a DX-398, Grundig 400PE and last but not least, a
Sat-800.

You'll hear people in this group cut it up but to each his/her own..

Enjoy
