Description
Modified RADIOSHACK model DX399 with original box and 120/220 power adapter and pouch Modifications: + 2 White LED, brand new 40 mm 8 ohm 0.2 watt speaker. BFO for shortwave bands. New speaker, new LCD backlight Microprocessor circuit modified to accept recharge battery or a bit weaker (not alkaline) battery. Testing it every day. Radio is very pleasure to use. SSB reception is very useful. The BFO tuning edge knob on top works good, easy to use to clarify the sound in SSB modes( USB or LSB)========================================Just a note about the modifications:I have my identical radio with the same modifications and I am happy with it. Radio is very sensitive, SSB mode is very easy to use. After you set the BFO frequency on one SSB station, seldom need to re-touch it for any other station on the same band. I discovered the greatness of this very small radio one year ago by checking the service manual and the features. After that I bought one for $6 and replaced the speaker and started to use. So I created all these modifications after a longer test period. Now I sold a few repaired and modified little radio ( DX-399 and also ATS-606 ) . Buyers are happy and me too because I keep my radio and use it every day instead of other more expensive scanners, shortwave radios. Battery is good for such a long time even with the second LCD backlight LED is on all the time when radio is on.It is consuming only 2 mA. I use the radio with a mono earphone for walking or for checking HAM bands.=============================================== RADIOSHACK DX399 (CAT.NO:20-229) FM-AM-SW +VIDEO This set modified to accept recharge battery or weaker battery too. Please watch the similar modified little radio on my newest youtube video in company of 4 larger radios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMPbd1wH7pw It is a smaller almost pocket size radio with excellent reception on all bands. I put it on the DX-390 radio to show how small is this radio- and similar digital circuit with similar capabilities except SSB without the SSB modification. Yes, it is so small and very good working radio. The DX-390 radio is not part of this sale, only demonstration for the size difference. Dimension: 6 x 3.6 x 1.6 Please watch my short video of this DX399 model on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGSzrBk_Q1Q You need 3 x AA battery to run it . You can save a lot of energy because only one touch to turn it on or off. Electronic switch. Battery not included. I can include a plastic , original pouch to carry the radio. 3 band Pocket radio. Good sound but low volume from a much smaller speaker. CLOCK+STEREO( with stereo earphone) . I suggest to use earphone instead of the built in small speaker. The sound from the small speaker is good only for personal use and not across the room. Please pay attention to the speaker grille: It was made of Aluminum, strong and not cheap plastic.
