Yes Degen/Tecsun are the same company see: www.degen.com.cn/english/info.asp They only share the same office for overseas business, but the headquarters are located in different towns: http://www.tecsun.com.cn/english/index.htm So I insist that these are two separate companies. I vaguely remember something about Degen having been founded by former Tecsun folks, however. Degen's production techniques and products seem to be quite a bit less oldschool than Tecsun's (which seem to involve a lot of things getting done by hand).

Stephan -- Home:http://stephan.win31.de/ Team Mostly Harmless Tecsun is largely an operation of the Communist Party. It's hard to get more oldschool than that. I imagine that Tecsun is operated similar to the collective farms, where the CCP tries to overcome lack of technology through brute force, such as armies of peasants knee deep in rice paddies tending the crops. There is little incentive to change the system because it keeps the people from rebelling by keeping them occupied. The functionaries probably tolerate Degen because Degen can cut through the red tape better than they can because it keeps the Party at arm's length. There's probably a certain amount of admiration on the part of the hacks. Any other company finds itself largely shut out, at least when it comes to shortwave radios, because China considers shortwave to be vital to keeping the peasants in line. Most Chinese peasants cannot afford satellite TV, and FM coverage is out of the question for much of the country, so shortwave is it. Sangean has largely died on the vine, and Sony has moved on to greener pastures. Other Chinese radio makers exist, but shortwave is a no go area for them, because of its strategic importance to the Party. Even though Degen is tolerated, it has fewer resources than Tecsun, and is largely unknown outside China except among SW aficionados. SW may seem hugely unimportant to Americans, but to the Chinese Communists it's everything, thus they control it. Tecsun dominates the US shortwave market, even though few Americans notice. The Party sees increasing shortwave listeners in America as a good way to convert people to its point of view. CRI blankets America with quality signals, and Tecsun's Eton line of radios is easy to find. Eton advertises heavily in Passport, likely keeping it alive. Mao may have been mad, but he always had a method behind it. |

I am so suprised there is still people believing all these crapy propaganda against communist China. |

I once answered a request from one of these to provide a reception report and now am bombarded with ridiculous begging emails from them. Can't see CRI doing this to mailbox respondents. To me it is clear which continent is trying hardest to 'convert listeners to its point of view'. And long live the DE1103! |

Whether thay actually manufacture all component parts from scratch or assemble them is probably an open question. From what I've read Degen markets it's products through Tecsun Hong Kong. Whether Degen is a western style subsidiary of Tecsun or whether there is cross ownership of the two companies or whether they are tied in through other corporate entities is not apparent from the information I've read. |

Does it really matter? If my Degen 1103 works perfectly well... and is supposedly/presumably the same as the Kaito 1103... should I be aware (or gasp, worried) that Tecsun makes it/them? In North America, department stores market electonics/appliances under their own brand names that are manufactured by someone else (whose name is generally kept obscured). The Degen name apparently cannot be marketed outside China because of some sort of German brand conflict. So wot's the Big Deal? I sense an American "Red Baiting" scare in the earlier part of the thread. In which case, as most posters here are presumably male, please go look at where the gotchies cupping yer balls are made... probably China. |
