Hi Jackie:
- What do you use to listen to Shortwave now BTW ??
Why haven't you taken the 505P out of the box ?

I'm using an old ATS803A... looks to be coming to the end of its life soon.
It's getting flakey (losing memories, cutting out) and I know it won't last
forever. I wanted a smaller radio with SSB capabilities, as I'm also a ham
operator and like to listen for 10 meter beacons and copy CW transmissions
to keep up my speed. I bought the ATS505P just before the holidays and got
too busy to do much listening, so it's still in the box. I thought I would
check around and see what I could find about the Kaito first. If the Kaito
were a better radio, I would probably sell the 505P and pick up the KA1102.
I didn't see the review of the KA1102 here; I'll check the Google newsgroup
archives and see if I can find out where this radio came up short.

Thanks,

Jackie
