The circuitry that tunes, is oversensitive when the antenna picks up too much signal and overloads the radio. My Dx394 has two different connections on the back. I get the same trouble somtimes and just switch the connection, using the same antenna. I don't know as much as the hams do about the workings of that circuitry, but if you can reduce the antenna length a bit when that happens, it might help. You need to attenuate the signal strength a bit. I also have trouble in 19 meters with local FM stations depending on which connection I use, and the cure is the same - I switch where I have the antenna connected. The dx 394 does have an attenuator switch and I will use it on occasion. I have noticed that if I am listening to a sideband signal that is particularly strong, backing down on the gain control helps in trying to clarify the signal. HTH mm

I have a Sangean ATS-803a and a Degen DE-1103. On both, I get images in
the LW band of MW band stations. They are at the frequency of the medium
wave station divided by 10, i.e. 1010 khz shows up at 101. Why do they
show up at 1/10 the frequency? These are both dual conversion radios.
