The Kaito KA1103 (also sold as the Degen DE1103) is probably the best
performing radio in the world for less than $100.

I have the Degen DE1103 version and I absolutely love it!

You also asked about the 1102. I also have a Degen DE1102. When the 1102
first hit the market, it made a lot of people take notice about Degen
radios. By the time they released the 1103, then Degen became a major
player. I like my 1102. It's small yet powerful, and it has a pretty blue
light that glows from every single button. But I can only use one radio at
once, and my 1103 is my every day radio. That means that my 1102 only gets
used on the day that my 1103 is hooked to the battery charger.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with either radio.
