I find cgw- I'm not familiar with the DX-390, but have the older DX-440. The same problem exists when I use the "SW" button to get to the shortwave frequencies. However, when I get to the shortwave frequency by first pressing "AM", and then keying in a frequency, the scan is continuous. I see that the DX-390 doesn't have the "AM" button. I suggest you try pressing the "LW" button, and then keying in a shortwave frequency. If my theory is right, the radio should be able to scan from some frequency just above the "LW" band, to 30 MHz, before starting over. On the other hand, the DX-390 might be "too smart", and not permit you to break the rules! 73, Fred, K4DII fred-mckenzie@ksc.nasa.gov
