SSB, CW, and even DATA Modes such as FT8 are stable enough to be easily decoded. MW reception is solid with the Built-in Ferrite Antenna. It's really important to protect the 1st RF Amp FET from Static Discharge. Instructions are available on the Internet. I will also disable the mute function, used when tuning. Lastly, I'll replace the defective Dial Lamp with a LED that can be turned On/Off indefinitely.Īpparently the AM Ferrite Antenna is disabled when the EXT ANT Jack is used.

Very handy, unlike the Panasonic RF-2200, my other AMBCB Portable DX Hound. The Realistic DX-390 will be my new Outdoor General Coverage Receiver! I'm apprehensive to bring the Panasonic RF-2200 out in the field due to its rarity, and replacement cost.

UPDATE : I just completed three MODS on the DX-390. I completely disassembled the radio to perform the MODS. I removed the incandescent Dial Lamp and installed a White LED. I added a Bistable Flip Flop Circuit, from China, to turn the LED continually ON or OFF with a single button press. The difference is that the "PO" Terminal goes to Ground rather than to Vcc on the KDA5A. I added 1N4148 Diodes from the Antenna Input AFTER the External Antenna Jack. This protects both the Whip Antenna and External Antenna inputs, to the RF Transistor, from Static Discharge.
Finally I performed the Anti-chuffing MOD.
I've got the DX-390 attached to my 80 foot Random Wire Antenna, through my SGC-230 Antenna Coupler, and finally through my MFJ Antenna Tuner. The Antenna Tuner is a Godsend here in Portland due to the strong overload from Many local radio stations. With the Antenna Tuner feeding the External Antenna Jack I'm able to reduce the overload an clearly receive DX Stations on the AMBCB. The DX-390 is a strong performer on the AMBCB.
