recommend the YB400, DX398 or the Sony 7600GR ( all of which I own ).
I recommend the DEGEN 1102 as a great first SW radio or anyone looking
for a portable. For the money, I think it is the best value going.

Just wondering where you think YB400,DX398 and the Sony 7600GR are
made. None of them are made in the US. If you can name a portable
shortwave receiver made in the US, I for one would like to know what
it is.

BB,

NAFTA is NAFTA -&- China is China

The two largest suppliers of Natural Resoreces to the USofA are
Canada and Mexico.

Hint: We buy more of the Natural Gas and Oil that the USofA uses
from Canada and Mexico, then from the Arabs / Middle East [.]

The Largest BUYER in the World of American Made Goods is Mexico [.]

The Largest BUYER per Capita of American Made Goods is Canada [.]

From the 1950s to 1990s the USofA Transitioned from a Manufacturing
Economy to a Service Economy. In the 1990s NAFTA "Made Sense" for
a USofA that had become a Service Economy.

Don't Blame Presidents: Bush-Clinton-Bush for NAFTA.

Blame the Congresses from the 1950s to Today - Who Passed or
Didn't Pass Laws that Benefited the Re-Investment of Capital
into the American Manufacturing Business Sector and the
Re-Training of Americans for the Jobs with a Future.

During the LBJ Great Society - Job Training Program the US
Government PAID people to Learn to become Barbers and Shoe Repairmen.
Unfortunately the US Government 'trained' Five Times the Number
of Barbers needed and Eleven Times the Number of Shoe Repairmen
that would ever be required.

Require Business to PAY the Prevailing Wage with Benefits for All
Imported Work VISA Workers. Or Pay a 100% Tax Equal to Any Savings
that is 'dedicated' for US Worker Retraining. Give US Workers and
Unions 'Standing in Court' to Challenge any Work VISA Applications
in US Courts.

Require Business to Pay 33% Tax for Five Years on Any and All
Savings from the Out-Sourcing Jobs to OverSeas/Foreign Countries.
This is a 'dedicated' Tax to Used to Fund US Worker Retraining.
Give US Workers and Unions 'Standing in Court' to Challenge any
Out-Sourcing of Jobs in US Courts.

When AMERICANS Work - America WORKS.

It Ain't 'the president(s)' - IT'S CONGRESS !

Some People May Label Me a 'republican'.
I Say I Am An "AMERICAN" - First and Foremost [.]

Ordered my 1102 from Liypn yesterday and had an email back within 15
minutes! In 7 to 10 days I should have my black model 1102 and I'm
quite excited from the reviews I've read.

At the price, it certainly does seem to fall into the "good first
radio" category ... it seems it has a few idiosyncrasies but at the
price/performance it has to be bumped up to overlook those.

I'm looking forward to getting my shipment from China as it is one of
the few major countries I have never received mail from (if you don't
count Taiwan, but I got mail from them when their station was "The
Voice of Free China"!)

I read nothing but positive things about the DEGEN DE105. It is by far, the
biggest piece of crap radio I own, and I own MANY.
P.S. That distinction was previously held by my Bell + Howell.
