Hi Sanjaya:

- It would be interesting if you could do a " Head To Head" comparison
of these two radios ( Degen 1101 and 1102 )
on the same faint station;
- Such as 12.095 ( BBC from Ascension Island)
which is ( for me) a difficult catch

I suppose off the whip and then with an external antenna
to make it more interesting;

& BYW , thanks for all these posts.

I just tested the DE1102 again on 12.095
2030 UTC Feb. 6, 2004

I was surprised to hear it very clearly.
I'd give it a SINPO 44333 and I'm using
only the telescoping antenna.
As readable as 5975 is for me later in the day.
I'm amazed... RLDB says 12.095 is Ascension
targeted at South Africa at this time.

Wow !! really good little receiver, thanks for the heads-up..!
12.095 is on " Microwave Beach" on ascension, the RF is so high
they have signs warning aboout it;
- Neat way to barbqueue
& when I win the Lottery I'll BUY you a 1101
for your efforts..
Thanks again

Wow. The kaito 1102 I have doesn't perform very well at all. Maybe
it's a fluke? It's not even as good a performer as the KA 105 that I
have. I'm not impressed with it at all. The SSB is rinky-dink and
the sound from the speaker isn't so impressive either.

I don't mean to rain on your parade.

It'd be interesting if you could compare the KA 105
And the Kaito 1102;

Hi Altawaowr.

I have a KA105 too, and it's a great radio as well,
considering it's size.

If you're KA1102 is not working as well as a KA105
I'd say you definitely have a clinker. The yahoo group
on the Kaito/Degen 1102 had posts from someone who had to send
his back to Kaito for repair or replacement because
it wasn't performing.

Here are the addresses and phone numbers you can
use to contact Kaito USA.

I'm guessing that you are in the USA Sanjaya, if so, you are probably
getting that broadcast off the 'back of the beam' from Ascension.

Yes, southeast USA. I am situated pretty well for getting
lots of broadcasts here.

And you're welcome.
I know others will have different opinions of the 1102.
And of course the big rigs with wires can get all kinds
of stuff I'll never hear. Everything we post is subjective
I guess. But I can only go with what I know and like.
For the $68.50 I spent on this radio I think it's a great
value.
