I was wondering if anyone could comment on how these 2 radios perform
side by side on shortwave?...I have a Kaito 1103 and was thinking of
buying a Sangean 909, but was wondering if its performance is better,
worst or the same on shortwave as the 1103...
Thanks...

Well, the 909 is priced at least 4x the DE1103, so it is kind of an
apples and oranges comparision... :-)

The 909 has as the other fellow indicated a lot more features, and they
are probably executed a little better than on the DE1103. The DE1103
for it's good points as a receiver has a poorly designed and executed
memory setup. And it generates lots of repeat signals.

You might take a look at reviews of the DE1103, Sony 7600 and Sangean
909 on Radiointel and Eham for more details.
