OK, let me rephrase. I'm trying to decide between a KA1102 and a
E10/PL-500. Any thoughts?

I have a KA1102. Great little portable for the price. I have gotten
excellent results pulling in stations off the whip even in a reception-poor
area. The reviewers gave the E10 a pretty good review in the PWBR 2005
edition, but the radio is about twice the price of the KA/DE1102-- there is
an eBay seller that sells the DE1102 (same radio as the KA1102) for less
than $50 US.

I believe the Tecsun PL-350 also has a tuning knob, and it has gotten
good reviews on this newsgroup. It doesn't have an Eton equivalent,
however, so you'll have to buy it off ebay. The version sold on ebay is
labeled in Chinese, which can be a little disconcerting, but it comes
with an English manual and you could always use a labeler to stick
English labels on your most used buttons. The SSB function on the
Degen/Kaito radios seems to me to be more flash than substance. I have
an 1102 and agree that it's excellent, but for somebody used to a tuning
knob the slew buttons can make operation tedious. I hardly ever use them
however since I just use it for casual listening not DXing. I just enter
the freq directly.
