The listing, Radio Shack DX-398 Shortwave Radio Receiver has ended.
Up for bid today is a Radio Shack DX-398 Shortwave Radio in super condition. The Radio Shack DX-398, is a portable shortwave radio about the size of a large trade paperback. It tunes from 150 kHz to 29,999 kHz and from 88 to 108 MHz in four bands. It can receive single-sideband in true LSB/USB, rather than the simple BFO of most portables of its class, though it doesn't offer synchronous detection. Unlike the Sony 2010, though, the Sangean can tune in 40 Hz steps, though it does not display frequencies at that resolution.It's got a nice, large, backlit LCD display and a large alphanumeric memory, capable of storing up to 308 stations. The radio comes preprogrammed with over 250 frequencies of international broadcasters. As with the Sony SW-77, alphanumeric tags can be used to designate frequencies. The radio has RDS (Radio Data System) on FM, which will display the call letters of a station or set the clock.
