If you're a new owner of the RadioShack DX-390, I highly recommend reading the owner's manual carefully to get the most out of your radio. Even if you're an experienced user, the manual is still a valuable resource that can help you to troubleshoot issues and optimize your radio's performance. Introduction

Problem 1: "The screen shows 'Err' when I try to enter a frequency."

Manual solution (Page 12): You are entering a frequency out of range. The DX-390 only covers 100 kHz to 29,999 MHz. If you try to enter 30 MHz, you get "Err." Solution: Clear entry with the "CL" button. Download the highest DPI scan (600 DPI preferred)
