Re: SUPERSTAR 3900 DIRLAND BLACK bands???
This is one of the early ones before they started using 6 way band switches.
With the band switch set to LOW the bands will be ABC [25.615 - 26.955] With the switch set to HI its bands DEF [26.965 - 28.305]
Switch on LOW
A = S.LO
B = LO.LO
C = LO
Switch on HI
D = MID
E = HIGH
F = HI.HI
Hope this helps.

The bands on this chart match the Dirlands bands. E14 is slightly wrong, but know one notices, I only do because of a bit of autism (not a joke by the way).

By far the very best version of the 3900. Also available in the "classic" chrome look. Excellent radio's.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!
Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

A quick google says its some kind of filter for CW, On some sets though it switched the beep on/off, See if the received tone on CW changes when pulled out, Or if it switches the beep off.liamhere wrote:what does the "pull DFB" do???

What would one be worth as opposed to the "other" red display SS3900's you think? Mine is unmolested. Beep still intact.

It sounded good, perhaps a bit too much echo at times, but I think you were experimenting. I've forgotten how loud the 3900 bleep is!liamhere wrote:thanks for the posts guys

The mod is probably a UK 27/81 40 channel one so the channel readout is correct 1-40.

keep that window on the eprom chip covered, or you may find your added channels disappear.
