Hiya, Bob...

When I getting spooked on 5975 from 5960, I had the radio set on it's narrow
filter setting, I had the DX/LOCAL switch set to DX and I had the external
wire antenna plugged in.

To limit the spook, I disconnected the wire antenna, set the DX/LOCAL switch
to LOCAL and still kept the wide filter setting. Even with that, I could
still hear the spook from 5960 at times. Not nearly as much as with the
previous settings, but I could hear it for sure. Then I tried the narrow
filter settings and that seemed to just about clean it up, though, I did
still hear the spook very slightly.

Given this, I was very surprised when I found that the radio didn't seem to
be overloading on the mw bands. I live in North NJ and we have several 50kW
transmitters within 20 miles. When I tried some mx dx'ing, the radio wasn't
overloading with spooks from the locals. I was able to listen to WBT 1110
in Charlotte NC with no problem and no spooks.

I've only had it for a day, and I need some more time to find out more about
it's selectivity.

Also.. I've had the KA1101 for several weeks and I've found it to be very
selective. It didn't have the same problem on 5975/5960 that the KA1102 had
even when I had the KA1101 on the external antenna with it set on DX.

Michael: Thank you for your very interesting review. You must be the
first one to play with the new Kaito 1102. As you become more
familiar with the operating system and have the chance to use it under
a variety of reception conditions I hope you will give us some further
reports.
Also , I was wondering, when you were operating on the whip
antenna alone and on the narrow bandwith, were you still getting slop
on 5975 from 5960?
Best regards
Bob
