It also 'clicks' to the full sensitive setting.

This may sound like a stupid question but...
You DO have it turned ON all the way and not OFF? COUNTER-CLOCKWISE is

just aquired a used radioshack DX 398--works well except the
sensitivty
is
low (sounds like an attenuator is switched in!!)...are there things to
check/modifications etc to improve the sensitivity of this radio?

i am running the attenuator knob at the full gain posiiton.

radio wld be fantastic IF I could improve its sensitivity/gain. As
stands--my
SONY 7600/YachtBoy 400 etc absolutely blow it away..i dont think this is
a
normal situation, so i suspect the dx 398 has a problem.

thanx for all suggestions/links to web sites dealing with this issue.
