Yes, I am prepared to accept that, and the input transistors of my Grundig
seem to have been blown since I took delivery of it: But this Degen
company, - which has a reputation for continuously improving their
models, - has just brought out this completely new and attractive-looking
KA11 or DE11 model with a VERY interesting feature which lets it seek and
automatically store virtually all locally available stations simply by
pressing a button. So you can automatically adjust for whatever is going on
in the tropopause every time you turn on the unit!

No one seems to know yet if it incorporates the circuitry of the already
extant models or if they have ventured into the cheapie no-frills piece of
junk end of the market and stuck a few bells and whistles on it (like
Phillips).

I would just go out and buy one as it is relatively inexpensive but there
are some snobbish reports of it not being dual conversion (meaning it
clearly isn't just the old trusted circuitry updated), and some reports of
that meaning nothing IN PRACTICE so I am wary.

I broke 3 YB-400s! My Kaito KA-1102 has fallen 5-6 times with no harm.
