Deaf as a post? You OBVIOUSLY have a defective one. I have a 398 and a
909. While I admit they are NOT the most sensitive radios I own, they are
FAR from deaf...


The ATS-606A is a great walkaround shortwave. I take mine on morning
hikes. Picks up India just fine at 8 in the morning with just the
built-in whip. The 1 kHz fine tuning is very helpful.
