It's been awhile since I ordered from http://www.cwsbytemark.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=206_221
but you could check with them...a quick look didn't say anything about minimum orders.

you might want to use zip cord or speaker wire from the EWE's transformer to the radio. Unfortunately, I don't recall the DX400 (or its twin the Uniden CR2021) allowing one to use only the antenna input without also incorporating the signal from its internal antenna. It might not be a problem, either because the EWE will "swamp" the internal antenna's signal, or because the two antennas could be phased against each other.
