The RS DX398 works VERY WELL on FM DXing for me.

Here in Derry, on any other radio (including car) I can only get hash at
97.7 and the mighty 250w tx of WOKQ at 97.9.

However, with the DX398, I can get WBOT from Brockton MA at 97.7 AND with a
turn of the antenna, WJBQ or Q 97-dot-9 at 97.9, despite my proximety to the
BIG W250AB! (And that's all year, not in the tropo catches only).

I'm a satisfied customer.
