I am not sure why Lowbander DX-394's sell like hotcakes for $250 plus
shipping when for a few $$$ more they can get some real outstanding
receivers from other manufacturers. a used satellit 800 is $320 from
universal when they have them in stock and it is a much better receiver
with a warranty !

he includes some wire and a clip for an antenna and also a junk box
speaker but still ????????


what do people see ? are they that taken in by his BS writeup of how
his mods walk on water...he makes a big deal out some BB's in the
tuning knob !!!!!!


clue me in people,,,,,do I want one of these ????? is it better than an
R-8B ?????

Well, those buying his radios certainly remind me of P.T. Barnum's ol' adage....

I owned one for a short while, as the price was right- horrible receiver-
but it resold quickly.

They buy the crippled from birth DX 394 for the same reason people rescue
unwanted puppies from dogpounds. It is something basic to the human spirit, the
need to rescue something that is disadvantaged and turn it into something
better. Its a good thing, but it leads to the purchase of bad rcvrs.
