![]() "Bunia3" wrote in message ... 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 http://www.radiolabs.com/products/re...s/super909.php I would check the Yahoo 398/909 group as well. As I remember there's a lot of discussion of mods there as well. |
