Hello List, I have found time to write a little about my DX-394. I bought it, unmodified for, for sixty pounds from a friend. I was aware of a number of mods...
I found Paul's info on his DX-394 mods interesting. It sounds like the SSB filter he implemented was an audio bandpass filter as opposed to an IF filter. It...
I do not know whether it is mu-metal or not but it is very effective. I used the other designs as a basis to work from with minor changes. Firstly I inserted a...
Question - Has anyone tried using conductive aerosol paint to shield their DX394 & does it work? The stuff is readily available in the UK but at around...
Hello Frank and List The SSB Filter that I fitted is an 8 pole Chegyshev filter. The catalogue states -3dB points approx 250Hz and 3200Hz and -6db points ...
No, I haven't and, IMHO, it would be a waste of money at that price when there are other cheap, effective (probably much better) ways of doing it. Recycled...
Many thanks for the post and the pictures, Paul. Great feedback on the mods you've done. And your shack is so well-equipped and neat! A far cry from mine on...
Great news on your successful shielding mod. I wonder if the gain in sensitivity you observed is because the receiver was desensitised by the broadband high...
I am on my second DX 394, I purchased the first in 1996 an "a" model. I ended up trading it in at Universal Radio for a Drake SW-2, about 6 mos later I needed...
Welcome aboard, Jason! Hope you enjoy both your second DX-394 and participating in the group. About front end overload - the energy levels that cause the...
Anyone interested in purchasing my DX-394 ? In very good condition. No mods. I have a brand new KIWA filter with instructions in a bag ready to install (you...
Hugh! Don't sell! I thought you were keen on the computer control project. And have the knowledge to be a key contributor. Any way we can persuade you to...
Does anyone know if the DSP-40 was ever available in the UK?? If it was I'll try to get one here, otherwise does anyone know where I can get a good working one...
Okay Tom. Just for kicks I'll hold onto it and see it we can get something going with the computer interface. I was thinking of doing a keyboard interface to...
That's great, Hugh! Now come on over to the DX-394C group to continue the discussion on computer control! 73, Tom ... it we can get something going with the...
Hello All! I send out Special Notices rarely - only when there is a significant message that I think should reach the maximum members. Here are two major...
Hi, I have seen that there are some projects on the web for building tiny webservers. Why not interfacing the dx394 through an ethernet port? There are chips...
I was also thinking about this Frank. I've been playing around with a small single board web server. You can access it directly from a computer on your LAN or...
Soldering is not exactly foreign to me, but I'm no electronics tech either. And even though I purchased my dx 394 off ebay for a good price (under $140.00 US)...
Hi Jason, I bought mine with the mods already done. I paid almost $200 on ebay, maybe a bit more than I should have, maybe not. Wish I could help you out, but...
Tom, I have a nice 394 that I was going to list on Ebay Saturday night, but if you are interested in a direct buy that would be fine. It has all the mods...
For those interested in what's inside the DX-394, a large, vital file has been uploaded to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RADIOSHACKDX394/files/DX-394% ...
... That's one of the pitfalls with long URL's and wrap-around text. The link is split on two lines so you have to copy and paste the two parts into your...
