Can't hold a candle to the Degen 1103 IMO.

The Degen is also way more expensive than $20, too.

My vote is to go check eBay and the thrifts. A ham
radio swap meet isn't a bad idea either. I picked up a

Just make sure the radio works before you pay for it.

your response is a bit illogical and typical of the recent decline in
shortwave broadcasting. you assume that everyone in the US has a nice
internet connection.
he mentions he is in the boonies and is impoverished. logically we can
conclude that his internet access is not one favorable to steaming
audio for hours at a time. wemust also conclue he has only one phone
line and that it would be not good to tie it up for periods at a time.


I suggest the gentleman search for a USED radio, probably one that is
not in the best of cosmetic condition but is a good performer. These
radios are out there.

No offense intended, but I have to blurt this out...

This has to be the *worst* "Spock" I've come across in quite
some time on usenet. Now, I've seen some bad ones - really bad
ones - but this one shudders takes the entire cake! It would
be humorous if it weren't so awful...

I'd say something jd but I don't want him pulling the Vulcan Death Grip on
me. :)

P.S. If he tries the mind probe on me, he's a gonner! Nobody has ever
survived!!!!!!!! Bwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
