To anyone using a *newer* KA1102... have you tried it on 5975 kHz
to see if it still has intermod from 5960? Michael and Frank had different results
and comments on performance.

I just received one of the newer KA-1102 Chinese portables from
www.radios4you.com and I must admit that after playing with it for a
few hours it is the most impressive portable for the price ($90
shipped with guarantee) and size that I've used. The sensitivity on
its short whip and SSB reception are phenomenal to say the least. The
BFO "clarifier" is a true variable USB/LSB BFO oscillator and appears
to be rock stable. The AGC action on SSB was also the best I've seen
for a portable with no noticible distortion or "pumping" action. The
selectivity in the narrow position was about 5 kHz with fairly steep
skirts. This is an impressive little dual conversion radio for its
size and price. Highly recommended.

Hi Frank.
In a previous post Michael said his 1102 gave him intermod
from 5960 kHz when he was listening to 5975.
Do you find this to be the case with your newer radio?
I know you said it's very selective, but I listen to 5975 every
night, so I won't get a KA1102 if it has interference on that
frequency.
Thanks.
