I am looking for a dual superhet analog sw radio covering the sw in
4-6 bands continuously something similar in performane to Kaito KA
1101 . I am afraid with 9kh/10kh step tuning in digital radios might
not allow precisely tuning frequencies like 10.33 mhz .

You got something wrong there. Even the most simple PLL synthesized
shortwave receivers tune shortwave in 5 kHz steps (the DE1101/KA1101 is
an example), the better ones offer 1 kHz steps (DE/KA1102, Sony
ICF-SW7600GR, Grundig YB-400PE, Sangean ATS-505, ...). The 9 or 10 kHz
steps are for MW only, and when a radio can tune in 1 kHz (or smaller)
increments on SW it'll mostly also do on MW.

It would be interesting to know your budget, then one could recommend a
good starter's radio. Since you plan on catching some DX, I'd recommend
looking at a full-featured receiver like a DE/KA1102, Sony ICF-SW7600GR
or Sangean ATS-909. The little Degen is exceptional value for the price
but can't work wonders either, so for some more serious listening I'd
recommend looking at the Sony with its synch detection, good IF filter
and good sensitivity off the whip, or the ATS-909, a very comfortable
rig which, however, is better used on some length of external antenna
and mains powered.

Thanks a lot for all the info , but I am still left
with a doubt . If I find interference at SW 10.333 mhz can I swith on to
SSB - upper / lower and still listen to the music / news etc .

Please clear my doubt . Tons of thanks in advance .

cheers
