Volume Control
Where is the volume control, where is the knob? Degen has turned the
most basic of operations into an engineering exercise. To adjust the

ME: Okay, this feature would DRIVE ME CRAZY!! Excuse the shouting.

That's the reason why I don't think the 1103 a valable option, perhaps the
1102 would be a better choice? It seems to come at a nice price too!

How the 1102 stands compared with the Sony and the Grundig?

here's the 7600 compared with the Grundig YB400PE and ATS-909

If I cannot find a 7600G /R at a good price (even used) then I'll look for
a Grundig YB400 /PE, I assume it's a good radio... but I don't know.

The synch detector included in the 7600 does it make really stand out of
the croud?

I don't consider the ATS-909 because its high power requiriments.

Y'all help me!

I own a KA-1102, KA-1101, PL-550 and Sony 7600gr. At one time I also owned
a YB-400. The 7600gr is by far the best of all of them. The 1102 is a good
little radio, but it is not in the same class with the 7600gr. The sync
detector on the 7600gr is a valuable feature for sw program listening, but
aside from that alone, it is a great all around portable radio. The 7600gr
is a also a great portable radio for MW use too. For both MW use and sw
program listening, the ssb selectable am sync is idea for cutting out
interference or hets from adjacent signals. It also performs very well in
ssb mode. The ergonomics are good, the build is solid, memory features are
very good. General performance is excellent. Its sensitive and selective.
It does well off of the whip and it can handle a substantial external
antenna. It is also good with power usage. I use rechargeable batteries and
I can get about 25 hours of usage out of a full charge. If you had a Sony
7600gr , YB-400 and KA-1102 to test out for a few weeks but could only keep
one of them, I'm willing to bet that just about everyone would take the
7600gr. If you decided to buy the KA-1102 before you had a chance to use
the 7600gr, you may like the KA-1102 just fine. After you got a chance to
use the 7600gr, you'd think about your KA-1102... "hey this thing sux"
