Greetings from 2020!   
      
   I'm in the process of moving and was going through stuff in the basement to   
   see what I wanted to keep or not. My DX-440 hasn't worked in many years and   
   was replaced ages ago with a 398. I brought it upstairs and was messing around   
   with it... power light    
   always on with 9V 300mA adapter, no audio from speaker or headphone jack, AM   
   displays signal bars, FM stations don't. I read through a few of the posts   
   from the 90's and came across one discussing flipping the INT/EXT antenna   
   switch in the rear of the    
   radio. I pulled the plug, flipped the switch a few times and plugged the 440   
   back in. The set started working! The power light is still on even when the   
   set is off, but other than that the radio seems to work for now.
