I use to own the DX 440 and it does have the chuffing sound. That clicking
sound is the chuffing. I found the radio to be excellant by portable
standards for Dxing. My only trouble was the radio ended up int the repair
shop 3 times from
what I am told is front end issues from static buildup. It has a quirky
procesor inside. Otherwise a great classic SW radio.

Does anyone familiar with this radio know if it is uncommon to have a very
slight wobble when turning the tuning knob...and a very slight noise
also...like it's churning or something...

It also has the clicks which I believe is normal "chuffing" for this
radio.
Thanks for the info...

I just got one of these literally NIB, unopened for 13 years, with a 1991
bill of sale from CCrane Co.
