I am glad you have something that actually has good sound. That makes it all
worthwhile. My DX 394 does not have good sound S. I run the sound to some
stereo speakers I salvaged from a boombox that quit working - the speakers
still work fine.
If you are handy with a soldering iron (or have a friend who is), you
can make major improvements in the sound quality of the DX-394 with
the following mods found at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RADIOSHACKDX394/ :
1. AGC mod for slower release speed - really cleans up distortion on
AM stations with heavy bass modulation
2. Mod to defeat the Automatic Noise Limiter - ANL is permanently in
circuit and distorts on heavy amplitude modulation (90 - 95%
modulation)
3. Extended bass mod - increases size of output coupling capacitor for
better bass response.

There are around 50 other mods described on the site -plenty to keep
you busy and rewarded with a small investment in parts. ;-)

I wondered the same thing Linda. I get that some time and have no idea why.

Naw; it's the "new style". Imo, it looks better and, also, it doesn't show up

dust so badly (I clean the radios [grin]).


True, in that the black looks like the electronic equipment I had years ago.

Turn the BFO pot to the center position, turn on the BFO switch (located
right above the pot) and, then, use the pot as a "fine tuning" knob.

If it's more elusive than usual, use the tuning knob to peak the signal.
Another thing to try is the "AM Wide/Narrow" switch.


Okay, I'll give it a try.

My radio has the foldout stand on the back to tilt the radio, and, well, the
antenna is still too long. Perhaps the ceilings in our house are extra low!

I calibrated the BFO of my DX-392 by tuning in WWV with the BFO on and then
zero beating the BFO signal with WWV's. I then marked the spot on the BFO dial
to indicated zero, and referenced my CW and SSB/FAX offsets from that.

That's the way I do it.
