I've dug out my old DX-394 for kicks recently and noticed that the receive is off by about 5khz in AM mode and it is very difficult if not impossible to tune anything in either LSB or USB. For just puttering around on some large shortwave broadcasters I can get by, but I happened across some traffic on 11.175 mhz and struggled to make anything out, so now I am motivated to take a run at a repair. I have a copy of the service manual, but its been a while since getting into this kind of troubleshooting. Any tips on where focus my efforts? Admittedly, I'm a noob at something like this, but I'd like to learn and try.
