Default Degen DE1123

Last night, I received my Degen DE1123. My opinion of the radio follows.


Overall, for such a small radio, which would fit very well into a shirt
pocket, it does fairly well, but don't expect it to perform like a Grundig
YB400 or equivalent radio. I kind of like it, for it's size and relative
utility, and for it's extended (64-108 MHz, which includes the Russian and
Japanese FM bands) FM band. Not so sure it wouldn't be a better radio
without the DSP, though.


Sounds to me like the 1102 is still the best bang/buck in a small AM/FM/SW
radio. I have 2 (along with dozens of other radios) and still find them
handy for travel.
