So, where can I find this model at the lowest price? Also, should I stick with a Kaito (for the American market), or can I consider a Degen? (I heard the walwart with the Degen is not for U.S. voltages.) I think your money would be better spent on some psychotherapy. *laugh* Well, David recommended I look at the Sangean PT-80 ProTravel, so I assume his comment about me needing psychotherapy is because I did not take his recommendation. David (and others), how does the PT-80 compare to the Degen/Kaito 1103 with respect to MW and SW reception performance? I save quite a chunk of change going with the 1103, plus the 1103 is a little smaller and lighter. Also, my research indicates the 1103's performance in several important categories appears to be better than the PT-80. To me, it seems like a no-brainer. Comments? Thanks. Roger What do you plan on listening to after Cheney detonates his bomb? Anything left on the air will most likely be disinformation. Will everything everywhere be wiped out by the bomb? Will all transmitters be wiped out? I figure that Europe will be spared, and thus I can listen to the BBC. EMP covers a narrowly defined area. You can't get it to cover whole continents unless you send it REALLY high up in the atmosphere. The only rogue state with ICBMs is North Korea, and if Kim would launch anything, he'd launch an actual bomb instead of an EMP device. Of course, the USA could send up an EMP device over Iraq, but they already have ways to counter cell phone triggered IEDs (now the insurgents run wires). |

It's absurd to think that you'll have time to relax by the fire while your generator humms along keeping your minute steaks frozen after such an event. This threat of war is fake. The pigs want to scare you into submission. Bin Laden works for Bush (or vice versa). |
