Thanks for the link. I actually have my original manual. Read it just a
couple nights ago. I was actually suspecting that the radio wasn't working
right, but this is easily the best sounding ssb broadcast I've heard using
this radio. I'm convinced now it works find.

I still have my DX-398. It is my first portable SW radio. Portable
defined as you can easily hold it in one hand. Unfortunately it does not
have SSB mode or a BFO so you can pick up a SSB transmission but not
demodulate them properly.

It is a great sounding radio for AM transmissions, which is almost all
of the SW program broadcasters. Very few programs are in SSB.

This leave out most of the Hams broadcasting in SSB but some still
broadcast in AM.

Most of the military and utility stuff is SSB.
