The price they are asking for a CD copy is way out of proportion. The DX-394 service manual can still leave you in the dark on many things, especially when it...
Hi Tony, I don't see that the CD-ROM is out of proportion nor that all UK photocopiers are inferior to US ones. COSTS: http://www.mauritron.co.uk/ service...
This is my first post in this group, and already slaming into it with a mod question about our beloved sw receiver. Iam using the dx-394 primarly as an amateur...
Hi Jörgen, I probably said something to that effect and have removed the ferrite rod from my rx. That was before I had a schematic and learned that it is more...
Hello Tom, yes I could have been dead unlucky. I bought a service manual that covered both the rf-4800 and rf-4900. Trouble was, pages for both models often...
Hi Tony, I was following the definition in my Canadian Oxford English dictionary. I lived down under for a while in the 70's and have to agree with you that...
Hi guys... I'm glad I found you! I just got an MFJ-956 antenna preselector, and would like to use it with my 394. Right now, I am using a 100' longwire...
Hi there, You dont have to use coax, use ordinary wire but connect BANANA plugs to wire they fit perfectly inside a SQ259 socket which is what you have on the...
Hi Michael, welcome to the group. I'm not familiar with the MFJ-956 and MFJ does not have the manual on-line. However, in my opinion, you should use the SO-239...
Here's an update on this mod. I've done some more experimenting with connector CN7 disconnected to disable all preselector transformer/filters and,...

The following RADIOSHACKDX394 poll is now closed. Here are the final results: POLL QUESTION: Robot generated memberships and messages from them with titles ...
Reading about the complexities of the operation of this radio is like reading Plato in the original, but I love reading it <s> !! If I read it a few times I...
In response to the clear majority opinion expressed by those who responded to the poll, I have now changed membership settings to require Moderator approval of...
Hi Tom... I think the approval of new subscriptions is a good idea! However, I do have one suggestion, which you may have already thought of. I own a couple...
Just like the subject says, is it somehow dangerous to overload the dx-394 with very strong signals? If like, i am getting a very strong signal from some...
The service manual is on cdrom, nice :-) First question: Who has the Service Manual on CD-ROM or in any other digitale like form :P Please email me if you have...
Finally some help for my "394". I got one of the last ones in the NY-LI area when they were disco'ed 4 yrs ago. Ironically, It was one of the first ones made.(...
I don't know if this came up or not, But instead of alum. foil & 2 sided tape, Home Depot sells 2"wide alum. tape. Tin knockers use it on ducts. It's about $5...
... Now that I have the MFJ 956 though, I see I have to use SO-239 connectors! I have no idea how to hook the longwire up to this system. I do not want to use...
Be creative, find a way to either fold the tip of the lead in wire enough times to get a tight fit into the SO-239 female connector or just find anything, a...
A standard banana plug has a diameter of approx 5mm, a little less than a 0.2in. and fits snugly in a SO-239 socket. Perhaps you were sold miniature banana...
The adhesive is non-conductive so each strip of tape is an independent conductor. I don't know whether the capacitance of the overlap would make an effective...
Welcome back, Terry! Apparently all went well for you. I'm sure you'll be enjoying your radio and custom antenna tuner even more than before. 73, Tom ... to...
You can't damage the receiver no matter how strong the signal from a broadcaster is. Just don't go and hook the output of a transmitter directly to the...
This mod adds a switch and a pot on the back panel of the DX-394 to tune its RF preselector. The switch selects between the normal automatic mode and the pot...
