Hi Jackie:
- What do you use to listen to Shortwave now BTW ??
Why haven't you taken the 505P out of the box ?
Someone here did a review of the KA1102; found it wanting;

Hi,

I'm the owner of a Sangean ATS 505P. I've had it for a month, but I haven't
even taken it out of the box yet. I'm wondering if I should keep it, or if I
should sell it and get a Kaito KA1102 instead? Both radios seem to have the
features I want, but I have read several online reviews of the Kaito, and it
seems to get higher marks compared to the Sangean. Passport to World Band
Radio even gave this new radio higher marks than the Sangean. I was
wondering if anyone here has been able to compare the two radios, and would
be willing to share their thoughts?

Thanks and 73,

Jackie
