Frank do you know of a way to use the radio here in the US? It runs on
220v and has the Soviet-style FM frequencies (54-88mhz) in the FM band
that goes up to 108. It's got the standard Euro pin-type plugs. My
converters I use when I travel overseas convert 120 to 220.

Are there such things as "reverse converters?"

Liypn, he who sells the Degen 1102's to everybody in this newsgroup via
ebay, sells the 220-120 converters that he includes with the 1102's
separately for $8 or so I believe. I have a 220-120 converter that I
bought from a local electronics store in order to run a Euro clock radio
I got on Ebay Spain because I liked its unique styling. The converter I
have was made in China but sold under the name "Great Value" or "Good
Value" or something similar. I didn't realize that Euro electronics run
on 50hz instead of 60hz, so my new "radio despertador" ran VERY fast,
with a 50 second minute instead of a 60 second minute. Oh well, I've
got it tucked away in its original box somewhere.
