mods to make it not wrap on band boundaries?
From: fred-mckenzie##ksc.nasa.gov (Fred McKenzie) Date: 27 May 93 15:08:00 EST Organization: NASA/Kennedy Space Center, Florida Is it possible to modify a DX-390 so that it won’t keep wrapping around and around the two ends of a particular band in ‘search’ mode? I find I’m not familiar with the DX-390, but have the older DX-440. The same problem exists when I use the “SW” button to get to the shortwave frequencies. However, when I get to the shortwave frequency by first pressing “AM”, and then keying in a frequency, the scan is continuous. I see that the DX-390 doesn’t have the “AM” button. I suggest you try pressing the “LAW” button, and then keying in a shortwave frequency. If my theory is right, the radio should be able to scan from some frequency just above the “LW” band, to 30 MHz, before starting over. On the other hand, the DX-390 might be “too smart”, and not permit you to break the rules!
