HI Snow, all,
I use the '1103' on my 130ft 'Doublet' aerial and with the attenuator in
circuit (don't try your radio with out the att in circuit by the way on ANY
external aerial) and it receives all the signals I hear on my more elaborate
equipment with the same aerial, and no break-through into the IF stages.
For me ( my opinion only ) the '1103' is the best portable I have ever used
for SSB listening and Short Wave in general on an external
aerial..........Good Luck, Ken, G4KIR.

I own a Degen 1103 and use the antenna whip and I have not strung out an
alligator clip with longwire yet.
