Hi Mike, check this out, same radio, new, "buy it now" for $41.90

Yeah, eveeryone says that Liypn is the guy to buy from. Even with the $38
dollar air shipping charge from mainland China the cost is still reasonable at
about $80.

This is correct. I just got my black Tecsin BCL-2000 on Friday; Liypn
shipped it the previous Saturday. Wonderful turnaround.

I'm playing with it this weekend (also with a Kaito 1102 I just got last
week as well) and am very impressed with both radios.

Hooked up my 70' magnet wire (used normally for my R75) and the Tecsun
didn't overload, no distortion, and got great signals at very nice
fidelity.

It's certainly a nice "fun" radio to have.

Now THERE'S an esoteric reference... being a long-time Sake/Munro reader, I
must state my appreciation at seeing this one, Dan-

Nope, just a fan. Saki was my cat's name, named after the great H.H.
mimself. I took her name as a login for my initial Unix account and have
used it for almost all my accounts since.

I like the sensitivity so far, which is better (or so it seems from cursory
examination) than my old Sony ICF-7600 (the 1991 model). I was looking for
something a bit more portable and practical.

The 1102 has a very nice feel to it (solid case) and logical operation
(except for the battery charger, and I eventually figured it out with help
from another 1102 owner). The blue backlight is very nice too.

Not a challenger for a tabletop of course, and it would probably be
outperformed by the 400PE or ICF-7600GR, but I wanted something smaller
than both those options that would still pick up what are "essential"
stations for me. The 1102 can get RNZI and Tunisia as well as DW and Radio
Netherlands, so that's enough for me. Very good MW and FM fidelity as well.
