"Corbin Ray" wrote in message ... Quick update on my 1102... The SSB works very nicely. Of course I had to get out the manual to figure out how to work it, but it works well. I'm blown away by how much I'm getting on shortwave. It's like I've discovered a new band tonight. The speaker is really nice to listen to. It's not nearly as tinny as the Sony 7600gr. But I thought I'd try a nice set of Koss headphones, and wow! It sounds incredible on all bands, and FM with the bass boost is about as good as it gets. In a comparison between my DX-398 with headphones and the Degen with headphones, the Degen's wins hands down. At this present time, I would put my Degen 1102 into the exact same level as the Sangean 909, Grundig YB400, and Sony IC-SW7600GR. All have their unique strengths and weakneses. But I was able to get my 1102 delivered to my door for $68! So that puts the Degen in a class by itself. As something of a DX-398 buff, I have to ask where you think the compromises are in the Degan? Or is it that rare product that really does transcend its cost? You make it sound very interesting and my finger has been twitching towards eBay! At that price, its SAF (spousal acceptance factor) is a non-issue too. |
