From the DX-398 Manual at URL:

TUNING SSB STATIONS
Your receiver receives both USB and LSB transmissions. Follow these steps to
receive SSB stations.

The page (18) goes on to give a step by step tuning procedure

"making it understandable" is covered as follows (from the DX-398 Manual

Note: SSB stations sound distorted when you tune to them in the normal SW
band. To help you find SSB stations, watch for deflections on the signal
strength indicator. Since SSB is transmitted with a suppressed carrier, the
signal strength indicator will move more quickly when there is a
transmission and more slowly during pauses in the transmission.

When you have located an SSB station, press AM MODE to receive the
transmission. Repeatedly press AM MODE to switch between USB or LSB
transmissions (try LSB for frequencies below 10 MHz or USB for frequencies
above 10 MHz).

4. Set STEP to SLOW then readjust MANUAL TUNING slowly for maximum
intelligibility.

He is not complaining about picking the signal up but making it
understandable. You can't do this with DX-398. No SSB mode or BFO means
no SSB detection.

My 398 does it just fine. (????)
