Remember - You get what you pay for.


If you follow the yahoo group for this radio LOTS of people seem to
have purchased the Tecsun radios from a couple ebay dealers, with very
little dissatisfaction I could see. The Tecsun model is 220V, and the
dealer throws in a USA power adapter. If you want a manual in some
language other than Chinese you have to download it from Grundig.

If you include the postage from HK, you save about $25US over what I
can buy it for from a reputable dealer here in NYC. OTOH, that dealer
has a credit-only returns policy for reasons other than defects, which
keeps his prices low. I don't mind that.

He was playing with an old radio shack dx-100 that's in the wood shop the
other day and said "This is really neat. I want a shortwave radio."

(I know the dx-100 is a piece of junk.)

When I was a kid the neat thing was turning the knob slowly on the am tube
radio that glowed beside the bed, volume up, listening to signals coming
out
of the crackles. Um, that's still neat.

But today sw is better because you can get a radio that won't drift.

So -

If there is a digital radio that tuned like an analog one - not just the
knob, but the SOUND; and it was not too big, and not too much $, and not
too
complicated - no ssb, no sync det, etcetera - well then, I'd like to know
about it. 12th birthday is in two weeks.


Degen 1103--get from seller Liypn on EBay.
