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.
