The designer(also the main engineer of DE1103 & Grundig SAT800) now ask
advise of the receiver function from BCLer, the DE1108 will be the
high-end receiver of DE 110X series, it comes with a large dot matrix
LCD display(128*64) two way speaker system, MP3 recorder, AM sync
detector, SSB, dual conversion, the reference basis is SAT700, it
should has better performance than sony 2001D, 7600G, SW77 even SAT700,
the outline dimensions will be large than SAT700,pls post your thougts
here, I will take the message to the design, thank you!


OK, here are a few thoughts on features I would like to see on the DE1108
portable:

1. Digital readout to a finer resolution than the Sony 2001D. A readout of
0.01 kHz would be very nice.

2. A passband tuning control (PBT) such as the Eton E1/Grundig Sat900 will
have, useful to at least +/- 2 kHz range. If passband tuning cannot be
included, then the AM synch detector should be a SELECTABLE SIDEBAND type,
as with the Sony's. Ideally, the new Degen would have both of these
features.

3. Sensitivity at least as good as the DE1103, which is a useful portable
here on the West Coast of the USA where signals are weaker.

4. A comfortable, large tuning knob, without audio "chuffing" (muting) when
tuning. The tuning knob on the DE1103 was a step in the right direction,
except it couldn't be very big due to the small size of the radio itself.
