Here is a RS DX-398 in great condition. This radio has several improvements
that have been implimented over a "stock radio". These are as follows: 1-an additional broadband rf amplifier has been added internally to boost reception with the telescopic antenna. This really helps boost weak signals. 2-Tuning mute and smooth knob tuning to eliminate the stepped tuning knob action and chugging when bandscanning with tuning knob. This makes for much better feel when tuning than on a stock radio. 3-The audio has been improved to get rid of the tinny sound normally found in a stock radio. It has good volume and punch. This one is easy to listen to for extended time. 4-The stock radio has a very weak green led backlight system for the LCD display. It makes it hard to read in dim light. The dim green leds have been change to brighter blue leds. This makes it much easier to see in dim light. Also note that when using an AC adaptor the light can be selected to stay on all the time. 5-The stock radio has a very slow AGC, this has been corrected to a fast AGC time which makes station reception on worldband much better. These modifications make an already good radio much better. This is the best portable I have owned. The audio is much better than stock. Sensitivity is excellent! I can listen to 80 meter hams easily with the whip antenna! I just don't use it much. I need a scanner. Thanks for reading! I'm looking to trade for a mint RS Pro-95 or ? DeWayne K9KZ |
