Default Degen DE11 vs Tecsun PL200, any opinions?

I think the price of the DE11 is too high based on what it gives you.
The Tecsun PL200 is full-featured, receiving all of the 3-30 mhz
shortwave spectrum, but it is a single-conversion radio.

Damn, you would think in 2006 that single-conversion radios were not
even being made! I have an old S-38 and an HE-10, both single
conversions, but they were made in the '40's and '50's! They still
pull in great DX on the BCB though and the tubes keep my room warm in
the winter!


The Degen 1102 and 1103 are near the price of the Tecsun PL200. The
1102 and 1103 include dual-conversion reception (to eliminate
wrong-frequency images), and ssb (to decode amateur, utility, and
various other broadcast modes). To learn more about some of these
radios, see the reviews section at www.radiointel.com .
