Hi Sanjaya:

- It would be interesting if you could do a " Head To Head" comparison
of these two radios ( Degen 1101 and 1102 )
on the same faint station;
- Such as 12.095 ( BBC from Ascension Island)
which is ( for me) a difficult catch

I suppose off the whip and then with an external antenna
to make it more interesting;

& BYW , thanks for all these posts.

You're welcome Dan.
Yes, please send me a DE1101 so I can run the
"Head To Head" tests : )
All kidding aside... I posted to Tom that radiointel.com
reviewed both and found the 1101 lacking in selectivity.
The 1102 is dual conversion.
I just entered 12095 in the 1102 and could hear BBC. When it first came
on I couldn't read it. Moving the radio nearer the window
helped. Then the portable antenna let me hear enough
to ID it by hearing them say BBC. Propagation was
taking it in and out. It was not listenable but it was there on
the whip and reel antenna. Not a real test though.
I'm in the southeast US so I probably get an advantage
for some things.
