Yes, that'd be a place to start. Of course, the eham reviewer's
wording did suggest that perhaps the radio was not always 5 kHz off in
the frequency displayed. Then, too, one might ask if there are degrees
to which various units might be afflicted with this sort of behavior.
In any case, now that she has the Degen, she can run them side-by-side
and get a better idea of the virtues and limitations of of both the
Mini and the Degen.

Lisa,
On eham.net, you'll find that the first reviewer for the Grundig Mini
300 noted that his unit was "usually reading 5khz high across all of
the bands."
see: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4761
So, if the displayed frequency occasionally reads off by 5 kHz, it
could well be that your 15545 @ 20:15 sportscast was actually the 15540
kHz RPI program and your 7115 @ 03:22 actually R. Republica on 7110
kHz.
If this is the case, then you'll find that your new Kaito '1101, being
a PLL synthesized unit, will receive these transmissions 5 kHz lower
than what your Mini 300 was displaying.
Best of listening to you.
If you are right about this then Lisa could check her radio with WWV on
5 and 10 MHz and see if the time standards station is 5 KHz high.
