Can anyone tell me how the memories are set up in the DE1103. I've
heard they are set in 16 banks and that they are set up in 2 banks. Do
you tune between stored memories with the jog shuttle or tuning knob.
How well do they work.

TIA - John

They are set up from 00 to FF, in hex.. I do believe that you can use the
wheel to go through them. I think the way the radio treats it, the first
digit is the page, the second is the memory.

The manual in PDF format is available in the Files section at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kaito-de1103

I think it's on the Degen site somewhere.

the "analog" jog dial lets you tune thru the memories in sequence,
#00...FF, including the hex memories (e.g., #0B, #0C, ..). You can use the
numeric keyboard to jump to a particular numeric memory (0 to 99) but not
the hex memories using A thru F letters as there are no keypads for these
hex values ;-) Besides the 256 memories, the degen also remembers where
you were last time in each band, hence the 268 or whatever memories being
claimed.

I have mainly BBC (local FM) and FM stereo stations on the first bank,
making it easy to jump between the stored in memory stations (e.g., with
jog dial). A nice feature is that mixing SSB/CW stations with FM is easy
as the memory records not only the frequency but also the modes used etc.

You can directly program in a frequency and jump to it. So I haven't tried
to use the full 256 memories, it is too easy to just punch in a frequency
or dial it up, or use the band scanning features to scan up or down each
band for activity.

lots of radio for modest $$, lots of fun too ;-) bobm
