The DX-398 is the same as the Sangean ATS-909, but I can't find any parts
source for that, either.
Nothing about parts on the Sangean site - I wrote them a note.

Meanwhile I went ahead and ordered one of those 1-watt speakers, maybe it
will suffice.

Thanks for the replies.

Parts no longer carries that speaker, and I cannot find anything on the
Internet that seems to fit the specs. It is a ROUND, 3-inch, 8-ohm,
3-watt
speaker. Has to be round, square won't fit. Does anyone know where I
might
find a speaker with those specs? One with with a slightly higher wattage
rating and/or slightly lower ohms rating might work. I found a post
stating
that the speaker from a certain Sony shortwave receiver would fit, but
Sony
wants $20 for it plus shipping (not tonight, Sony, I have a headach!).

Karl-

I suggest you research the DX-398 and find who made it, and what their
equivalent model is. They would be a possible source of a replacement
speaker.

Several years ago I had the opposite problem, a bad speaker in a Sangean
ATS-803A. I was able to obtain a replacement for the Radio Shack DX-440.
