Degen/Kaito 1103 (where to get?) (was: "Ultra" portable MW-SW-FM...)
Roger wrote: I thank everyone for replying to my inquiry about the best small portable MW-SW-FM radio meeting my list of specs. With regards to the various "Faraday Cage" comments, I'll not reply to them in any substantive way since that is off-topic here (want to focus on "radios"), but for those interested, just do a Google search on "EMP Faraday," and several informative articles will result. Now, as I look things over, I'm getting more and more intrigued with purchasing a Degen/Kaito 1103 portable. 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.) Thoughts? Recommendations? Thanks! Roger On Ebay you will get the best price for a Degen DE 1103. The Kaito badged DE 1103 can be had in the U.S. for about $30.00 more. Rather than trying to use the built-in wall wart charger I opted to rotate two sets of NIMH batteries and a separate charger. The built-in set-up for charging was not well designed because you have to set the number of hours for charging - no auto sensing circuit on either model. Leaving a portable hooked up for 12 hours seemed to defeat it's purpose as a portable. |
