Your description needs some clarification to be able to suggest a course of action. Given the same sort of antenna, the DX-394 should be able to receive what...
i just pulled my 394 out of the closet a couple weeks ago. what i find is that (i dont know how to describe) i have too much signal coming in; therfore, i...

Of course! Probably the rf amp in the front. Or ,you said it gets a local station over the noise.AGC could be out. You need a person who knows what to look...

Ok.. just got a 394 from Canada, and I discovered that in the AM mode, it has no receive from about 4.555 upwards. Anyone have any ideas what to look for or...

I have one of these amplified whip antennas that is better than no antenna when in an urban apartment environment. Just about any long wire antenna seems to be...
I have used the RS active antenna with the DX-394. It is marginal at best. It amplifies the noise real well. You would be better off stringing a wire and using...
I agree, I find it extremely useful & hardly a toy; the signal amplification is very good and the preselection is most useful in wiping out noise & overload....
Finally got my antenna mast erected today, and am now on the prowl for an end fed shortwave antenna to attach to it, and am soliciting recommendations please ....
