I'm a longtime sw listener and was surprised at the DE1102 that Santa
brought our daughter for Christmas.

Such a small radio with so many features and great performance all for less
than $70. Hard to believe.

China made, long term durability is unknown at this time, but I'm very
impressed.

I've got 2, a Degen and a Kaito. I've had both for a couple years. One
of the best compact shortwave radios of all time.

Here are some even less expensive good ones:

Thanks for the tips. I dl'd the cookbook and signed up on the Yahoo groups
site.

I've found out over the past day that the fold out stand on the back of the
radio is rather fragile and is showing plastic stress already.

That's why I use this radio stand for my DE1102 and DE1103

Thanks Sanjaya,

It looks like the "mini stand" would be big enough for the DE1102. I'm
going to order it.

The mini-stand is only good for the tiniest of radios, like the little one pictured
in the link to stand with radio. Notice that the small stand has a little curved
base for the radio to rest on. You'll be happier with a large stand I think.
