...

just aquired a used radioshack DX 398--works well except the

sensitivty is
low (sounds like an attenuator is switched in!!)...are there things

to
check/modifications etc to improve the sensitivity of this radio?

i am running the attenuator knob at the full gain posiiton.

radio wld be fantastic IF I could improve its sensitivity/gain. As

stands--my
SONY 7600/YachtBoy 400 etc absolutely blow it away..i dont think

this is a
normal situation, so i suspect the dx 398 has a problem.

thanx for all suggestions/links to web sites dealing with this

issue.


IMO, there's something wrong with the radio if those other two
"absolutely blow it away." Regardless of the merits of the three--and
the standard knock on the 398 is an alleged lack of sensitivity on the
whip--there should not be -that- big a difference. These guys
reportedly do a great job and you may get some ideas about mods he

I would check the Yahoo 398/909 group as well. As I remember there's
a lot of discussion of mods there as well.
