The RadioShack DX-398 / Sangean ATS-909 is 'noted' for being the
exception to the rule; that most 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios
have a tendancy to OverLoad with a very long (+100) Wire Antenna.

Conversely, some complain that the RadioShack DX-398 / Sangean
ATS-909 is some what deaf on it's Whip Antenna when compaired
to other 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios.
