Default Opinions Required Please - Quality of Kaito Shortwave Radios

I have the KA 1103 newer brother, the Grundig G5. It's really the same
radio inside.

The AM is good on the radio and like others have said, stopping
interference inside your house is the main culprit in AM dxing. You
find a good place and your have a good radio.

Default AM/MW Radio Band DXing : Your 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio...

It was around 1997 or 1998 when I bought a Sangean 909 AM/FM/Shortwave
radio, at the same time I also bought a Select A Tenna, both items from
C Crane company in Fortuna,California.

I tried out that Sangean 909 radio (it was the top of the line, highest
priced model radio,) and the Select A Tenna for one week.HUMPH! neither
one of those items showed me Sh.t! I packed them up and I sent them back
to C Crane company!

I also tried out that Select A Tenna (it was the lowest price model
about $52.00/$57.00, sompin like that, when I bought it) with many of my
other radios.

Save your money! Hard times are ahead.
