Hi Michael:
Good to hear from you again. I decided to go with the Kaito KA 1101 as a small walkabout/travel radio for a number of reasons. I like the idea of the thumb wheel volume control and greater simplicity of operation. If I want to get complicated, I can pull the DX 398 off the shelf. Also there was the issue of an extra $65.00 (CDN) and I couldn't quite see spending the extra cash. I like this little radio. The only issue I have found so far is that the dial light is too sensitive. It turns on when there is still plenty of ambient light. I haven't found the radio to be any better than the Sangean 808a but it is 1/3 the volume and very portable. Actually, on second thought, the Kaito's narrow bandwidth might be just a bit sharper than the Sangean's. I am waiting for the 1103 to come out. That looks quite different and interesting. Best regards Bob |
