I couldn't agree more. The RadioLabs "Super 909" modifications make that a
very impressive portable shortwave receiver.

I just bought a new AT-909 withOUT the modifications, and still think it's a
teriffic little radio.

Fry Electronics closed out a number of 909's at just $129.99...and I bought
one. And, am I glad I did!

I've been an SWL off and on since the early 1960's when I was a little
kid...and have used all kinds of big, bulky receivers.

Seems like a really nice portable...and you can't beat the price!

I have used the DX398 for three years anow and fins out it to be a very
good portbale for the money. It is not very good with whip antenna
but one connected to an external antenna. There is a big difference.

I also have Sony ICF-7600GR. I still find the DX398 easier to operate.

Has anyone with the Radiolabs mods had any problems with tuning sideband? It
seems that I can't tune the signal completely in. There is always a warble
in the received audio. Its as if the radio is overloaded in a bad way even
on the whip antenna..The audio is understandable but I just cannot tune out
the warble..Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong if anything..
