My guess is that it's the same as the Kchibo KK-C300, which Passport
gave 1 1/4 stars. They said that the performance was really bad. Buy a
Degen-slightly more expensive if you buy on ebay, but vastly better
performance.

I concur with TommyK. I have the Degen 1103 and when I taker it outside, I
feel like I have one of my better receivers shrunk down in my hand. It picks
up SSB like nobody's business. For $65 shipped, what a deqal IMHO. I got
mine from Brocchi since he's cheaper and includes a 110v adapter for it,not
a 220v step down.

With only five shortwave bands, there are probably several useful bands
missing.

I don't know if there is any standard for what constitutes a 'band' on
a receiver. My FRG 7 has 30 'bands' if you take it at face value.
Nothing I know of says you can't cram the whole 1.7 to 30 mhz spectrum
into one or two or three 'bands' on the dial.

Reminds me of the guy ordering a pizza. The cook asks him if he wants
it cut into four or eight pieces. The guy answers back "Just four..I
don't think I could eat eight"

same thing on the radio

I read the manual on this and it covers all the meter bands from 2.3
to 26.1 MHz. The Canadian RS has this as "Coming Soon " in their
list of SW radios.
My guess is that anything at that price that does SW, AM/FM, Wx and TV
all in one box would be like the jack of all trades and master of
none.
