I just got back from a 10-day visit to Madrid where I took my SG-606A.
I used it in my hotel room in the center of the noisy city and
reception of the BBC on 12,095 and 6,120 and other stations came in
clear. On longwave, I was able to hear fascinating Arabic music from
several stations. Morroco and India also came in clear. My 606 is my
constant companion when I travel outside the U.S. It's a very
sensitive receiver, and here in the Caribbean, I can pick up Australia
and Argentina with ease. Try it, you'll like it.

I've got a DX-392, DX-398, and DX-399, among other radios. Of those
three, the DX-399 may be my favorite. I think of it as the "Pocket
Hercules," because, like the Turkish weighlifter of Olympic fame who
held that nickname, it accomplishes so much in such a small package.

Indeed. I've logged many a stations on that piece while on the boat or in the
park.

Let me rephrase this. I wouldn't choose the 399 over the 398, no way-no how.
But the DX-399 does EVERYTHING you can expect from a radio that size and more.

The only thing it doesn't have is sideband, but it's not suppose too. ;-) But
I wouldn't even 'loan' my 399 to anyone, that's how much I think of it and use
it.

... the 399 is an 'excellent' piece. It can't be beat for the size or
money.

The method it uses of storing memories in pages is superior to the
method used by the DX-392.

Great little radio. Not the best, just great in and of itself.

I am fond of the DX-399 too. It's pretty near perfect as a non-SSB radio,
if only for that annoying issue with the signal-strength LED leaking noise
into one channel of the headphone output. I'm still flabergasted that,
after all these years and all the complaints about on the UseNet, Larry
Magne _still_ says nothing in the printed reviews, year after year.

He would have to review the radio again for the review to change. The
annoying issue must not be a big enough reason to do so.
